Description[?]:
| Members of the Presidium, This act in front of you is a joint act by the ministry of Healthcare and Social Services and the ministry of Finance. Lodamun is still dealing with a deficit for this the government is looking for ways to cut their own cost, as taxes have already been raised. Our ministries deem it necessery for a cut in the cost of Healthcare and Social Policy. Currently Lodamun is very forthcoming in providing aid to their citizens as it should be. However we believe that this can be reduced without affecting the lives of our citizens too much. The proposals in front of you will make sure that healthcare is accesible and that our social services are still able to support those in need. With the changes in the law we hope to safe 5.000.000.000 LOD. Money that can be used to get rid of the deficit and for investments on other departments. Gideon Patton Minister of Healthcare and Social Services (LLP) Jerome Disselflower Minister of Finance (LLP) |
