All payments under program of maternity benefits to be made in full
Finance Ministry claims it will pay in full all maternity benefits, provided by the state program on family support. First Deputy Finance Minister Anatoliy Myarkovskyy informed that the government allocated UAH 950 million for this program.

According to the ministry, the problem with payments is explained by a more optimistic birthrate this year. Taking into account the forecast, the budget-2011 provided for funds, which turned out to be not enough due to unexpected burst of birthrate.

The Ministry plans to obtain required additional financing through optimizing some other budget programs.
