Dairy cuisine in Moscow in 2021: what changes
There have been persistent rumors about the abolition of dairy kitchens, but the fact that there will be no dairy kitchens in Moscow and the Moscow region is too exaggerated information. Dairy kitchens are not being closed, employee vacancies are not being eliminated, and as of January 1 of this year, the Department of Health has left the kitchen operating hours as is. That is, this year the cancellation will definitely not take place, but time will tell what will happen next.
Moreover, the range of kitchens will be expanded in 2021. Kitchen addresses, schedule, and opening hours remain the same.
News 2017-2018
Not all mothers know that their babies are legally entitled to a dairy diet. There are people who are aware of this issue, however, they do not receive food assistance due to the distant location of the food distribution point. Many people have no one to leave their child with, and many find it inconvenient to take them with them.
Because of this, the state loses money allocated for products that women do not fully consume for themselves and for their children. For these reasons, it would be more rational to allocate certain cash benefits to established categories of citizens, which can be spent on purchasing dairy products. Moreover, it is more convenient to buy groceries in a store located near your home and at any time. This innovation is already in effect in a number of regions. However, the amount of monetary compensation is not always equal to the amount of the food package.
For example, in the Yaroslavl region this amount is only 200 rubles , which is significantly less than the total cost of products allocated for the month. It is much more profitable for the state to pay monetary compensation than to provide food assistance. In this case, there will be no expenses associated with the maintenance of food distribution points, and there will be no need to pay the workers of these points.
A law to replace the food package with cash payments is under consideration, since not all parents will spend the money allocated to them specifically on dairy products for their children. It is best to let the woman choose what is more convenient for her - to receive products or to compensate for their cost with money.
