RIGA-Latvian Prime Minister Ivars Godmanis has proposed a strategy for
restructuring the government by reducing the current amount of ministries to
twelve. As a matter of
fairness, each ruling coalition party would lose one minister.
Godmanis told reporters that the strategy included merging the Welfare
Ministry, Health Ministry, Children, Family Affairs Ministry and the Social
Integration Ministry into one Ministry of Family, Health Care and Social
Affairs.
