The Ministry of Social Affairs (MSA) (Efrasachin: Ministèrio od Afurtos Social), officially the Ministry of Social Affairs of the Kingdom of Efransa (Efrasachin: Ministèrio od Afurtos Social du Rouiame od Elfransa) is an executive department of His Majesty’s Government, responsible for social policies, specifically policies impacting the daily lives of Efrasachinds.

The Social Ministry is comparable to health ministries, as well as those of education, labor and workers affairs, culture, youth affairs, and equality, as well as most functions not delegated to the other ministries. The Minister of Social Affairs is the chief executive. The Viscount Chatham is the first and incumbent Minister, as well as serving as Deputy Prime Minister.

History

The Ministry can be traced back to the Ministries of Health, Education, and Labor of the first Kingdom of Efransa. These were succeeded by the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Care, of Education and Vocational Training, and of Labor and Worker’s Affairs.

Under the Republican Period, no social ministries were ever established, they were filled in place by the Presidency. Maradia’s constitutional government established Ministries similar to the originals, but the transitional government saw the Ministry of Home Affairs governing social policy.

Ludisirga’s Ministry of Social Affairs and Welfare oversaw all social policy, while the functions were divided into the Federal Ministry of Health and the Federal Ministry of Education and Workers filled the place during the Union Period. The Supreme Chancellery was established by the Constitution, and by the title V of the Cabinet Organic Act. Other positions are governed by the Chancellor. The Fourth Amendment to the Constitution retitled it as the Ministry of Social Affairs.

The National Healthcare Administration regulates health insurance corporations, while also overseeing the public healthcare system, EfransaCare. The Administration also regulates medical device production and purchasing, as well as the production, selling, and pricing of pharmaceuticals.

EfransaCare is modeled after the health system of Spain and the United States. However, Efransa also guarantees all persons not covered by private insurance to be covered by EfransaCare regardless of most circumstances, unlike the United States. Like many programs, EfransaCare is not actively operating.

Mental Health Services Agency

National Disease and Substance Control Centers

The National Disease and Substance Control Centers’ functions are divided into the Disease Control and Prevention Agency (DCPA), and the Substance Control Service (SCS).
