Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov has said that regional state administration heads will be held personally responsible if there are legal violations during the summer holidays in children's camps.
Azarov said at an extended meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers on Friday that there must be no cases of children suffering food poisoning in summer camps.
"We do not have the right to allow violations of the regulations of children’s food provision, [or] the quality of food. Such cases occurred last year. I would like to personally warn governors and all those who at the Health Ministry are responsible for this sphere: they will be held personally responsible for every such case," the premier said.
Azarov said that this year about 18,000 children’s establishments, including 13 new ones, would receive children during this summer holidays.
At the same time, the premier said that only 57% of children’s sanatoriums are fully ready to receive children.
