Social Affairs Directorate

Social assistance falls under social security schemes and is based on social justice, solidarity and the principles of equal access and free choice of forms. The development of public services takes into account the need for better accessibility of services and balanced regional accessibility, the individualisation of services, and the elimination of monopolies in the provision of public services while ensuring their well-thought-out organisation. The social security scheme, social security rights, social security providers and other systemic issues are regulated by law. By monitoring the implementation of the law and improving the legal regulation, people in social distress are provided with an appropriate social assistance scheme if they are unable to provide for their subsistence and an appropriate system offering them expert support and social assistance services.
