In this context she pointed out unresolved issues such as the transport of persons with disabilities, the difficulties persons with disabilities encounter in nursing homes, the healthcare their dissatisfaction with the speed of deinstitutionalization of the social welfare system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Representatives of the Union and associations of persons with disabilities indicated the specific problems they face: insufficient number of personal assistants, insufficient training of sign language interpreters, absence of emergency centres, lack of money because the government does not sufficiently subsidize the activities of associations that care for persons with disabilities, and failure to implement a national programme for rare diseases.
