Document 259 - Written interpellation by I. Ferčíková Konečná to Z. Mrázová concerning the systematization of the Department for Social Inclusion

Scope: Section 112; pages 1–8.

The document contains a written parliamentary question from a female member of parliament regarding the reorganization of the Department for Social Inclusion at the Ministry of Regional Development and the minister’s response. The member of parliament warns that merging the department’s responsibilities with those of the housing department and eliminating managerial or regional positions could weaken expert support for municipalities and jeopardize EU-funded projects, in part due to potential financial penalties. The minister, on the other hand, states that this is not a dissolution of the institution but an internal reorganization of approximately 5.7% of positions, during which the department’s responsibilities, support for municipalities, and projects will continue unchanged. She justifies the change by citing the findings of the Supreme Audit Office (NKÚ) and efforts to eliminate duplication, with the expected savings resulting from the reduction of 7 positions.
