In the regions – excitement for hygiene

The activities of the National Center for Public Health are wide: from the issuing of hygiene passports to the population’s complaints about noise, smells, in the absence of soap or hot water.

« Where three and fewer employees work, those departments are destroyed. Trakai residents are active – noise problems, dustiness, careers around, » said Kristina Dzencevičienė, interim head of the NVSC Trakai branch.

He says that they are active, but only about 40 complaints are received a year, when the Vilnius Department, of the five chapters, which includes the same Trakai, receives over 1 thousand. complaints. Trakai also serves Elektrėnai Municipality, but does not have to go there.

LNK stop shot.

Of the 37 currently operating territorial offices, only 28 are planned to be left. The chapter is no longer in Širvintos, Prienai, Kėdainiai, Palanga, Kupiškis, Moletai, Zarasai and Visaginas.

Not all municipalities meet the change with ovations, and the mayor of Kėdainiai is surprised by how he was informed.

« The point is that I got my channels, though it had to be different, » said Valentinas Tamulis, Mayor of Kėdainiai District Municipality.

The mayor is considering whether it will be the case that there will be no department, and Kėdainiai is the city that suffers from the stench.

“We are an industrial city – we have a sugar factory, a Krekenava factory, a huge complex of pigs. If the resident feels odors, must write a possible pollution dispenser in writing, and only a week later, the odors begin to investigate. This is a meaningless study, because there are no such scents in a week’s place, ”said Tamulis.

The head of the center calls processes a structural reorganization.

« The departments are integrated into the Department of Action Unit, and the goal is the opposite of the mayors, » said Vaidotas Gruodys, Director of the NVSC.

He adds that the change will not be dismissed, the premises will be abandoned, so the capacity is not reduced, they will only be more operational.

« We would have such a savings if a person is not enough in one section, it can take place elsewhere, performing functions delegated by the head of the department, » explained V. Gruodys.

Another goal is to ensure that corruption prevention is even more effective: to maintain a four -eye principle to participate in control of two specialists.

« They still have to work, but do not always work. If one person works in the unit, we cannot guarantee four eyes. If the employee issued a permit to some economic operator, he no longer has the right to control it, » the NVSC director said.

It is promised to save about 60 thousand. EUR per year – as much as the temporary presenters are now allocated.
