The Finance Minister Vilius Šapoka opposed this proposal.
“Imagine if we accept such conditional protocol changes for each property object in the future …” said the Minister.
“When a natural process occurs (Turto bankas will take over the facilities at 39 Studentų str. 15 minutes), when the Property Bank is already at your disposal, it is then that initiative (deliver the facilities to the Registration Center – 15 minutes) We will consider it, ”said V. Šapoka.

After discussion at the meeting, another wording of the meeting minutes was agreed: simply to capture the need for the Records Center to receive such premises and begin the transfer process.
“Evaluate that initiative and take the necessary steps to make this happen,” summarized V. Šapoka.

The Registry Center servers were “dumped” on July 20, and e. The health system was restored after eight days.
Already on Monday of this week, the Records Center requested the Government a request for transfer of Studentų str. 39 premises where both the administrative staff of the company and the data centers could be located.

M.Dargužaitė terrified
15 minutes reported Wednesday that a crash on the Registry Center server server is reviving the company’s plans to move to new facilities.
Milda Dargužaitė, who worked as government chancellor in 2016-2017, stated that these intentions remained the same for the three years since she left office.
“It seems like nothing has been done in 3 years. PR only (public relations – 15 minutes) “, – M.Dargužaitė wrote on Facebook.
According to her, due to the level of insecurity of state data, the project to build a consolidated data center that meets the highest security requirements has been launched for a long time, and even EU support has been assigned for this .
“As expected, where the money is, there are many who want to manage it and do not endorse any centralized project. It took me almost a year (and a lot of dirt and discredit to personally address me), but still managed to design a modern data center and sure.
It was only necessary to implement it. Unfortunately, but because the money is huge, I was deprived of the power to decide anything, including experienced people to hire this project. That was one of the reasons why I left this government, ”said M. Dargužaitė.

Electronic health problem
The systems maintained by the Registry Center were restored last week, with the exception of e. Healthcare system.
Without this system, medical institutions would not be able to upload electronic documents, write electronic prescriptions, or perform other functions. Patients with electronic signatures were unable to purchase medications at pharmacies.
Other systems were able to recover more quickly because they had backup databases in other locations.
The electronic health system did not have it, so it took eight days to recover.
The administration of the Records Center establishes that the endorsement e. Health databases are planned for this year.
The backup data center would operate in synchronous mode and, in the event of a major outage, it could start operating immediately and ensure the smooth operation of the system.
