Penza, 23 October 2017. PenzaNews.

"We allocate funds to support young families when buying housing at the birth of the first child. Should we cancel the programme?" he said at the operational meeting that was held in the regional government on Monday, October 23.

According to Ivan Belozertsev, many couples live together for 5-7 years and get married only after a woman gets pregnant in order to receive the payment from the regional budget.

"What if we adjust the programme and direct a part of the money at IVF? Would it be more useful?" he said turning to representatives of ministries and departments.

The governor ordered the deputy head of the regional government Oleg Yagov and the Minister of Health of the Penza region Vladimir Stryuchkov to work out the issue.
