mostly in elderly homes and centres for adults with disabilities); • the deadline for drawing up plans to restructure residential centres with a capacity of more than 50 places, i.e. December 31, 2018 (stipulated in Government Emergency Ordinance no. 69 of July 17, 2018 on the amendment and supplementation of Law no. 448/2006 on the protection and promotion of the rights of persons with disabilities), which is considered to be insufficient, since, in some cases (especially for neuro-psychiatric recovery and rehabilitation centres), there are no alternatives to institutionalization in traditional residential centres (family-type or residential alternatives, newly established), and the Ordinance stipulates that, as of January 1, 2019, the public funding of residential centres with a capacity of more than 50 places shall be reduced annually by 25% (which will affect the activity of such centres that already faced the scarcity of the required funds); • improper cooperation with school inspectorates, education institutions and hospital units (D.G.A.S.P.C. representatives took note of the differentiated treatment applied to children institutionalized in schools, their labelling, and, in the case of hospitals, the requests of medical staff, i.e. to admit older children with a companion, which was difficult to do, since the staff was insufficient); - at the level of the General Border Police Inspectorate: • problems with locations that could not be rehabilitated/sanitized/arranged as they were not directly managed by the Inspectorate; - at the level of psychiatric hospitals: •the admission of patients classified as social cases (persons who lived in the street or were abandoned by their families) where immediate solutions were not identified and who needed the allocation of resources, which affected the budgets of hospitals and their capacity to provide specific services to more patients.
