The commentary in the relevant chapters establishes the rights and obligations of the above persons. Among the features of the Law being commented on, one can highlight the requirement for information openness of the provider of social services, which is obliged to provide publicly available information about its activities. This obligation of the provider corresponds to the right of the recipient of social services to gain access to such information. Information openness of a social service provider is one of the guaranteeing elements of organizing independent public control over the quality of social services.

(6082×1.5). 10123-9123= 1000 rub. difference. 50% of the difference – 500 rubles. This means that a recipient of social services can receive services worth over 500 rubles, but will only pay 500 rubles.
