Summary/Abstract: Review of the publication Wija Petr, Bareš Pavel a Jan Žofka: Analýza sociálních a zdravotních služeb dlouhodobé péče v ČR. Praha: Institut pro sociální politiku a výzkum, z. s., 2019, 248 stran, ISBN 978-80-907662-2-8, https://socialnipolitika.eu/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Analyza-socialnich-a-zdravotnich-sluzeb-dlouhodobe-pece-v-CR.pdf The paper consists of a review of a book entitled the "Analysis of Long-term Social and Health Care Services in the Czech Republic" published by the Institute for Social Policy and Research. Based on hard data, the authors of the book attempt to offer a particularly detailed overview of the users and providers of social services and the associated legislative context. The high-level analysis succeeds in providing both a local overview and an international comparison. However, it fails to offer predictions of future developments, recommendations for political leaders or a summary of the analysis as a whole. Nevertheless, the publication provides a valuable contribution to the discussion on the planning and implementation of state social policy.
