Provision of social services on the platform of inter-municipal cooperation in the Czech Republic

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The main objective of this paper is to evaluate the potential of inter-municipal cooperation for the provision of social services. It seeks to answer whether inter-municipal cooperation is an appropriate form of social service provision and whether the concept of integrated care is an appropriate framework for social service provision. A qualitative research strategy is employed. It is dominated by a case study, which in part underpins the findings and opinions presented in this paper. The object of the case study research is an organization providing social services and health services in the Czech Republic in their interconnection and continuity. The analyses and findings of this paper follow the case study. In the Czech Republic, 19.1% of the total number of registered social services are provided directly by municipal contributory organizations established by them. The share of resources decided by municipalities in their independent competence from those not under direct decision-making by central authorities is 31.7%. The legal conditions for inter-municipal cooperation in the Czech Republic allow for the delegation of elements of municipal autonomy to municipal associations. The results presented in this paper show that inter-municipal cooperation is a possible and appropriate form of social service provision and that linking social services provided on the platform of inter-municipal cooperation and the concept of integrated care, specifically in the model of Integrated Community Care, is mutually beneficial and productive.
