4(D). To the Minister of Finance
25 June 2014
English
- Greater resources are required in the mental health sector to fund services which comply with the Czech Republic’s obligations under international human rights law. The move from institutionalising people with mental health issues towards providing support and services in the community is now urgent. At a minimum, the government should invest in this transformation at the same level as the European average, being 2% of GDP.
- Ensure that any EU funding which is used to finance any aspect of the mental health or social care system is not spent to bolster institutions, but instead funds community support services, in compliance with the CRPD.
