The implementation of medical reform in Ukraine, which provides radical structural changes in the health care system, the transformation of financing mechanisms for services, and at the same time the implementation of budgetary reform, an integral part of which is budget decentralization, makes the issue of assessing the role of local budget spending on health care. Formulation of the problem. In conditions of limited budgetary funds, growing debt and budgetary decentralization, successful implementation of health care reform is impossible without increasing the role of local budgets in financing the industry of development priority areas. Analysis of recent research and publications. The works of I. Chygynova, V. Makogon, M. Pasichnogo, Ju. Markuts, I. Kogut, Y. Pasichnik, V. Tropina [1-6] and others are devoted to the study of issues related to the problems of the article. The results of their own research of some of the indicated problems are presented in [6-8].

The purpose of the article is to assess the role of expenditures of local budgets of Ukraine on the health care sector in the context of deepening budget decentralization and to develop proposals for improving its financing. Duringresearch, general scientific and special methods were used: analysis and synthesis, the method of generalization, statistical, etc. The article analyzes and evaluates the total expenditures of local budgets for health care, as well as for the regional program "Health of the population of the Dnipropetrovsk region for 2020-2024".
