The Szociàlpolitikai és Munkaügyi Intézet (SZMI) of Hungary and the
European Centre for Social Welfare Policy and Research (ECV)
co-organised a workshop entitled "Long-term care in Europe – discussing
trends and relevant issues", in Budapest on the 22-23 of February.
This workshop brought together several experts to debate issues that are
high on the policy agenda of long-term care for dependent older people,
while also providing the opportunity to publicly present the ECV
publication "Facts and Figures on Long-term Care - Europe and North
America". The contents of the book set the scene for a lively discussion
during the two days of the workshop, around themes such as: coordination
of health and social services, user choice in accessing long-term care ,
financing of long-term care and carers (workforce, migrant carers,
etc.). The discussion also provided useful information to be taken on
board of the next edition of Facts and Figures, scheduled for 2011.
The presentations are available on our website:
