26-11-2009 15:03 Parliament fails to override presidential veto on allocating UAH 1 billion for fighting flu
There were not enough votes to override the veto as the Regions Party refused to participate in the vote.
At the same time, MPs refused to support presidential proposals to the law, which foresaw the use of other sources of financing for the fight against flu. The parliament returned the law to the budget committee for revision in order to consider it on Tuesday, December 1. According to the earlier reports, over 1.716 million people have caught the flu and flu-like illnesses in Ukraine as of November 25, including 37,327 over the last 24 hours. Some 102,030 patients have been hospitalized, including 2,369 over the last 24 hours. A total of 177 patients are in intensive care units, with 21 people being linked to artificial lung ventilation units. A total of 404 people have died of flu and its complications since the start of the epidemic, including seven people over the last 24 hours, while 76,739 people have been discharged from hospitals. The epidemic threshold was exceeded in Zakarpattia, Kirovohrad, Luhansk, Lviv, Sumy, Khmelnytsky, Chernihiv, Chernivtsi regions and in the city of Kyiv.
