Introduction

At the present stage of the development of society the problem of social protection and state support for persons with disabilities is particularly relevant and requires reform and improvement. Ukraine, as a country aspiring to join the European Union, should take into account the best foreign experience of the leading countries of the world in the sphere of state policy of support for people with disabilities and its implementation. This will enable to solve problems related to education, employment, integration of people with disabilities into the environment and the realization of their abilities and skills.

Today the world does not have one thorough, stable and efficient system of healthcare administration. Every country in the world faces different problems in ensuring the realization of the right to healthcare, in providing access to quality medical care and treatment.

Ukraine's healthcare system lags behind the world's developed countries by various indicators, including life expectancy, mortality, and the fight against chronic and infectious diseases. Despite the low indicators of healthcare provision, Ukraine spends a significant part of its gross domestic product on medical services, but in general it has little impact on the healthcare system. The process of reforming the national healthcare system demonstrated the ineffective policy in this area, the high level of corruption and the inability to transform this system to the level of world standards of medical care, especially for people with disabilities. The problem of disability in Ukraine is becoming particularly acute. The number of people who were injured or maimed in connection with the recent events in the country is increasing. That is why creation of favorable living conditions for people with disabilities is one of the main priorities of social policy of the state.

The goal of this article is to investigate the system of economic means of state administration of the rights of persons with disabilities to healthcare, to identify the areas of budgetary management and the formation of a new mechanism of economic administration.

1. Methodology of research

1.1. Theoretical aspects of the definition of economic methods of state administration of the right of people with disabilities to health care

Significant contribution to the development of theoretical and practical foundations for the implementation of the state policy of support for persons with disabilities has been made by such well-known domestic scientists as M. Avramenko, S. Bohdanova, N. Boretska, I. Bezsonova, T. Voitchak, N. Hauzner, I. Hryshova, N. Dementieva, O. Diachenko, K. Myched, S. Leonova, A. Ipatova. However, despite the numerous efforts and achievements of domestic scientists, the study of experience in the sphere of realization of the state policy of support for people with disabilities and its implementation in Ukraine requires additional research.

In addition to administrative methods of state administration of the right to healthcare for people with disabilities another group of methods is important - the adoption of programs of economic development of healthcare, the acceptance and funding of rehabilitation programs for people with disabilities, ensuring the implementation of medical activities of individual state programs and comprehensive program activities, implementation of pilot projects to change the mechanism of financial support for surgical treatment of organ transplants and other anatomical materials, etc. The main purpose of economic methods of activity of the public administration in ensuring the right to healthcare for people with disabilities is to create such economic conditions, which cause interest in the performance of certain work, in increasing the productivity of work and, accordingly, the provision of financial support. During the application of economic management methods, the subject of control achieves the desired behavior of the managers by influencing their material interests. For this purpose, both the prospects of material benefits and the threat of material sanctions can be used (Kolpakov, 1999). These methods

are suitable for regulating the activities of the so-called non-profit organizations, taking into account, for example, how rationally they spend their own material resources received from the provision of paid services, the lease of state property and real estate.

It should be noted that in the process of implementing administrative and, in the future, medical reforms, methods of regulatory influence (indirect administration) become very important, among which the leading place is taken by economic methods of management. Implementation ensures that the financial and material interests of the management objects are satisfied through the activities of its subjects, which create favorable conditions for achieving the goals and objectives of management. For example, local self-government bodies, within the limits of their competence, can finance local programs of development and support of communal healthcare institutions. In particular, they are responsible for renovation of material and technical basis, major repairs, reconstruction, increasing wages for health workers (local incentives programs), as well as local programs for providing health services to the population, local public health programs and other programs in healthcare. Economic methods can also include measures of material incentives through a system of specially created funds that accumulate and distribute budgetary funds for health care together with private capital; identify priority areas of funding and support for the development of medical care for people with disabilities; provide funding for programs to improve the qualifications and retraining of specialists who provide medical care for people with disabilities; carry out redistribution of funds from state, local and other sources for the treatment of certain types of diseases; establish a system of grants and target funds and to use various mechanisms of control over the use of resources, etc.

Thus, economic methods are manifested in the creation of such conditions for the development of the ordered objects, for which they under the influence of certain material and financial incentives can independently choose a variant of behavior. However, as before, this choice is made on the basis of the traditional "surplus" principle of state funding of healthcare, which, unfortunately, cannot be solved in the near future. Economical methods can be used on a limited scale. That is why it is necessary to look for new methods of complex investment in the field of healthcare, including sources of funding of medical care for people with disabilities through the use of the possibilities of different levels of budgets, recruitment of charitable contributions (development of philanthropy and patronage), expansion of the scope and sphere of use of business activities in the surveyed sphere of administration. It is worth noting that the

use of economic methods of state administration of the right to health care for persons with disabilities requires the search for specific indicators of activity of the authorized entities, as well as specific criteria for evaluating its effectiveness.

Therefore, economic methods of public administration of the right of people with disability to healthcare - the totality of means and methods, which are used by the authorized subjects of public administration in order to create such economic conditions, which contribute to improving the health level of individuals with disabilities, ensuring an accessible and safe environment, improving the professional qualities of medical personnel providing medical care for those with disabilities, implementation of rehabilitation measures, as well as the creation of other necessary conditions for the integration of such people.

2. Results and discussion

2.1. Formation of a new mechanism of economic administration of the right of persons with disabilities to healthcare

Note that in 2019 a new mechanism of providing rehabilitation services for children with disabilities due to cerebral palsy was introduced based on the principle "money follows the people". This mechanism will ensure targeting, oversight and improve the quality of rehabilitation services. For compliance with the Law of Ukraine "On the State Budget of Ukraine for

2019," which provides for payments under the budget program 2507100 "Rehabilitation of Children with Disabilities due to Cerebral Palsy" was approved by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine Decree of 27. 03.03.2019 № 309 "On Approval of the Order of the Ministry of Social Policy (2019) for use in 2019 of the funds provided by the state budget for the rehabilitation of children with disability due to cerebral palsy.

The state budget for 2021 provides funds for the Ministry of Healthcare of Ukraine, including the financing of the Ministry Apparatus (35,2 billion UAH), the State Service of Ukraine for Medicines and Drugs Control (116,2 million UAH) and the National Health Service of Ukraine (NHSU) (123,8 billion UAH). The lion's share of funding of the NHSU is directed to the continuation of the implementation of the program of state guarantees of medical care for the population, which was launched in full scope from 1 quarter of

2020. The state budget for 2021 allocated 123.5 billion UAH for the Program of Medical Guarantees (PMG) (Figure 1). The final edition of Law No. 1082-IX increases spending on this budget program (as

compared to the first edition of the draft budget) by 56 million UAH (for treatment of patients in the posttransplantation period) (Health care spending in 2021).

In 2021 the PMG provides funding for first medical aid (taking into account the number of people who have signed a declaration with a physician); secondary (specialized) and tertiary(highly specialized) outpatient and hospital medical care (based on priority services and conditions); reimbursement; palliative medical care and medical rehabilitation; as well as emergency medical care (according to a new organizational model). It should be noted that according to the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine Decree of 16.12.2020. No. 1271 "On the standard of arrival of emergency (ambulance) medical aid teams to the site of the event" now the target time of emergency medical aid team travel is determined not by the territorial relevance, but by the priority of the patient's condition.

The Ministry of Social Policy is the main holder of the budget funds allocated in the state budget for rehabilitation of children with infant cerebral palsy in 2019. The coordinators of budgetary funds of the lower level are: Fund for Social Protection of Invalids -responsible for implementing the budget program; Body of legislative power in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea on social care of population, structural divisions on welfare of the regional residents, Kyiv City State Administration; structural subdivisions on social protection of the district inhabitans in Kyiv, as well as state administrations, executive bodies of city, district and city councils (local organizations (if created)).

Resources are vertically distributed among regional bodies, which, in their turn, allocate budgetary funds among local bodies in proportion to the number of children, who require rehabilitation measures at the place of their residence (staying) in accordance with the individual treatment programs. It should be noted that funds allocated for the implementation of rehabilitation measures may be redistributed on the basis of appeals from these subjects.

These program-targeted economic methods of state management of the right of people with disabilities to healthcare are applied to relevant institutions of any form of ownership and organizational-legal form, which provide medical care for people with disabilities and (or) their rehabilitation on the basis of a corresponding license and professional activities of medical (pharmaceutical) workers, who have a license to conduct business activities in the medical practice for the purpose of covering the cost of rehabilitation activities for children in need.

Therefore, the use by territorial communities of the funds allocated in the state budget for the rehabilitation of children with disabilities due to cerebral palsy is a valid method of public administration of the right to healthcare of people with disabilities.

Another effective economic method of public administration of the right to healthcare for people with disabilities is the development of a mechanism of using the funds allocated in the state budget by territorial communities to purchase specially equipped vehicles for transportation of people and children with disabilities, who have impairments of the musculoskeletal system. The use of this method will be able to stimulate territorial communities to create transportation services for people with disabilities, especially for people in wheelchairs. The fulfillment of these actions will positively contribute to the elimination of barriers in the life activity of people with disabilities.

Implementation mechanism of the mentioned economic method of public administration of the right to healthcare for people with disabilities was approved in the Decree of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine of 14 February 2018. No. 189 "Some issues of using the funds provided in the state budget for the purchase of specially equipped cars for the transportation of people and children with disabilities who have musculoskeletal disorders" (Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine of 14.03.2018 № 189). It should be mentioned that according to the budgetary program 2507030 "Social, Labor and Professional Rehabilitation of Disabled Persons" for 2019, 30 000 UAH are allocated for this sphere.

We also note that the economic methods of state administration of the right to healthcare for people with disabilities, in our opinion, also include: targeted approach to ensuring technical and other means of rehabilitation of persons with disabilities; providing such persons on the principle of "money follows the person"; payment of cost compensation for self-purchased rehabilitation equipment, etc.

Conclusions

Today the world does not have perfect, stable and efficient system of healthcare administration. Every country in the world faces different problems in ensuring the realization of the right to healthcare, as well as in providing access to quality medical care and treatment.

In addition to the administrative methods of state management of the right to healthcare for people with disabilities, an important group of methods ensures this right. For example, programs of economic development of healthcare, rehabilitation programs for people with disabilities, the implementation of pilot projects to change the mechanism of financial support for operative treatment, etc.

It is worth noting that in the process of implementing administrative and, in the future,

medical reforms, methods of regulatory influence (indirect management) become very important, among which the leading place is taken by economic management methods. Implementation ensures that the financial and material interests of the administration objects are satisfied through the activities of its subjects, which create favorable conditions for achieving the goals and objectives of management, for example, local self-government bodies, within the limits of their competence, can finance local programs for the development and support of community healthcare institutions.

Economic methods find their manifestation in the creation of such conditions for the development of dependent entities, for which they can independently choose an individual variant of behavior under the influence of certain material and financial incentives. However, this choice is made on the basis of the traditional "surplus" principle of state funding in the field of healthcare, which cannot be solved in the near future.

It is important to point out that in 2019 a new mechanism was introduced to provide rehabilitation measures for children with disabilities due to cerebral palsy on the principle of "money follows people" principle was introduced, which should ensure targeting, oversight and improve the quality of rehabilitation services.

The national legislation reflects norms that created conditions for the realization of the right to work of people with disabilities, as well as ratified Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the ILO Convention on vocational rehabilitation. From the point of view of the Ministry of Healthcare of Ukraine, the funds allocated by the state are extremely insufficient for the uninterrupted functioning of the medical system. In its budget memorandum for 2021 the ministry has allocated twice as much -296 billion UAH, 225 billion UAH for the implementation of the program of medical guarantees (which is 5% of GDP, as required by the Law of Ukraine "On State Financial Guarantees of Medical Services to the Population"). But the suggestions of the Ministry of Healthcare of Ukraine both at the time of formation of the state budget and at the time of its approval were not taken into account.

The requirement of the Law of Ukraine "On State Financial Guarantees of Medical Services to the Population" for the establishment of financing of the program of medical guarantees at the level of 5% of GDP was suspended for one more year.

When formulating policy regarding people with disabilities in Ukraine it is necessary to take into account not only the experience of our own country, but also the current trends in international practice, which are more innovative.
