You did not invent the wheel.

There is an operating model in health funds and local authorities.

I want to know how long until you finish the government bill? "

Rachel Spiro, from the Advisory and Legislation Division at the Ministry of Justice, said at the hearing that the legislation is being made in parallel with the concept of operation.

At this point the committee chairwoman reprimanded the government ministries and said: “Year after year we are spreading it.

These are unprotected women.

The state privatizes itself to know, you sit in offices and tell me privatization.
