The article presents a comparative analysis of the standard assurance of medical and genetic consultations according to the current and new orders of the Ministry of Health of Russia. Along with the identified positive changes in the new regulatory document, the authors note a number of controversial positions of the new order that prevent its implementation in healthcare practice. The document provides two possible indicators for establishing the majority of positions: the population and the number of births, and provides recommendations for using only one of these data. Such recommendations do not reflect the full scope of the work of the position and the institution as a whole. The implementation of the new labor standards, presented both at the federal and regional levels of government, will require an increase in the actual number of positions several times, which indicates the economic unreasonableness of the new document.
