Brno 14. (ČTK) - The biggest problem of social services in Brno is that the public knows little about them. People who give birth to a disabled child or families caring for an elderly person must therefore find out on their own what they are entitled to and where the necessary services will be provided. This follows from the community plan of social services, which was prepared by the city. The wide-ranging document is published on its website and people can submit comments.

The possibilities of social services in Brno are little known.
