Footnotes

*According to Act XXXI of 1997 on Child Protection, as amended on 1 January 2016, child welfare services and family assistance, the latter previously administered through Act III of 1993 on Social Administration and Social Benefits, were merged as family and child welfare services, with a new organisational structure and assignment of tasks. The content of the services, the opportunities and the form to access them and consequently the manner in which the data are provided fundamentally changed, therefore, the comparison of time series data is not possible.
