response: "Response from the Ministry of Health\nA key challenge in Slovenia is to\
  \ establish a comprehensive and integrated long-term care system that will enable\
  \ people to live independently and safely for as long as possible. The new law will\
  \ improve the quality, efficiency, rationality and tailor-made organisation of services\
  \ and benefits for people who, due to old age, illness or other reasons, are dependent\
  \ on other people's help for a long period of time. However, in order to establish\
  \ such a system, it is necessary to ensure a sustainable system of financing long-term\
  \ care with an appropriate mix of public and private financial resources.\nThe Bill\
  \ provides for a choice between different entitlements: a cash benefit, co-financing\
  \ of home-based services or co-financing of services in an institution. In addition,\
  \ all beneficiaries will be entitled to fully publicly funded services to maintain\
  \ their independence, and users who remain in their home environment may also be\
  \ eligible for co-financing of e-care services. All users in informal care are also\
  \ entitled to substitute care, as the draft Long-term Care and Long-term Care Insurance\
  \ Bill primarily strengthens and supports home-based care.\n "
