Nový systém financování sociálních služeb zatím zlepšení nepřinesl
The new social services financing system has still not led to improvements

Summary/Abstract: Two years ago the funding of social services was transferred to the individual regional level. Following a detailed assessment of this significant development and based on initial experience, it is now possible to state that the various expectations have so far failed to materialise. Moreover, evidence was discovered of the application of different approaches to the financing of social services within individual regions. According to extensive feedback from across the country, it is clear that in certain regions this transition resulted in no local disparities or upheaval; however, in certain regions the opposite was the case. Generally, it can be stated that the systematic decentralisation of the funding of the social services system can in no way be considered beneficial either for the Czech Republic in general or its social services system.
