Prime Minister Vladimir Putin chairs a meeting on the Main Guidelines for Government Performance
“First and foremost, we should focus on the projects designed to overcome technological backwardness and increase labour productivity, as well as on efforts to resolve urgent healthcare and educational issues.”
“The main thing is to keep up and gradually increase construction. Most importantly, construction projects under way must be finished and new projects launched. At the end of the day, increasing construction is the only sure way to meet people’s housing demands.”
At the outpatient clinic, the prime minister was shown the Bashkortostan Social Welfare Card automated information system, which provides access to medical, transport, banking, tax, and pension services.
“We should rid people of the need to go to offices, get their nerves frayed in queues to get elementary papers from the Technical Inventory Bureau, the social welfare agencies, house-maintenance directorates, passport offices and reception desks in polyclinics. Therefore in the coming years we should install the system of providing government and municipal services electronically. We are talking about information service portals, integrated communications channels, and departmental and regional databases.”
