Good day! Here is a concise overview of the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine regarding the food standards for individuals held in penal institutions.
1. **Essence of the Law:** This resolution amends the existing food standards for individuals held in penal institutions and pre-trial detention centers, specifically introducing separate food standards for individuals with tuberculosis who are receiving inpatient treatment. This is done to ensure adequate nutrition and support the health of this category of prisoners.
2. **Structure and Main Provisions:** The resolution introduces changes to two previous resolutions of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine: No. 336 of June 16, 1992, and No. 1150 of December 27, 2018. It adds new food standards (No. 12 and No. 9, respectively) for patients with tuberculosis who are receiving inpatient treatment, and also establishes standards for the substitution of products for this category of individuals. The new standards define a specific list of products, their characteristics, and weight per person per day.
3. **Main Provisions for Use:** The most important thing is that the resolution clearly defines the list of products and their quantity to ensure the nutrition of patients with tuberculosis in penal institutions. Also, the possibility of replacing some products with others is established, which allows for a more flexible approach to the organization of nutrition, taking into account available resources and patient needs. Attention should be paid to the notes to the standards, which define the procedure for using products and adjusting the standards for individuals with insufficient weight or HIV-positive status.
