Summary/Abstract: The article provides a comparison of the proposals of various political parties concerning the financing of social services provided in residential institutions. The aim of the article is to determine both areas of consensus and disagreement on the issue of such funding. The identification of the various areas of consensus will subsequently allow for the significant simplification of (at least parts of) the process surrounding the amendment of the Social Services Act. In order to identify the proposals considered by the various political parties, experts were contacted from each party who exert influence at the manifesto level. The subsequent comparative analysis revealed consensus between the experts in terms of the valorisation of client payments, the entry of private companies into the sector, the approach to the social-health frontier (the payment of nursing services), the introduction of multi-year financing and support for terrain social services. No political consensus has yet been found with concern to MoLSA subsidies or care allowances.
