Response from the competent authority: "Reply from the Ministry of Labour, Family,\
  \ Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities: a single central register of waiting lists\
  \ for nursing homes has already been set up at the Community of Social Institutions\
  \ of Slovenia (SSZS). With regard to the comment about the untimeliness of the lists,\
  \ we believe that such a possibility could only exist if the individual home does\
  \ not keep the data in its internal information system up to date, given that their\
  \ data is transferred daily to the central register of applications.  In this respect,\
  \ the SSHCS will specifically remind the homes of the need to keep their data up-to-date.With\
  \ regard to the proposal to automatically place an applicant in the home with the\
  \ shortest waiting list if he/she does not choose a specific home, we would like\
  \ to draw attention to Article 11 of the Rules on the Procedures for the Exercise\
  \ of the Right to Institutional Care (hereafter: the Rules). On this basis, each\
  \ institutional care provider has an admission, transfer and discharge committee.\
  \ Only after a hearing by the Board can an application be placed on the waiting\
  \ list. The latter also means that, notwithstanding the proposed automatic ranking\
  \ of applications, the social worker in each institution must receive the application,\
  \ check whether it contains the necessary elements, enter it in the system and present\
  \ it to the admission committee for further consideration. We would also like to\
  \ mention Article 15 of the abovementioned Regulation, which stipulates that the\
  \ institution shall also take into account the proximity of the applicant's residence\
  \ and that of his/her relatives in the admission process. A system of automatic\
  \ ranking of applications could also mean that the applicant could risk having to\
  \ accept a place far from his or her place of residence, far from relatives and\
  \ friends, and could be assigned to a provider who does not meet his or her wishes\
  \ and needs or financial capacity because of the standard of care offered.The basic\
  \ prices of care I and IV in each home are published on the Community's website.\
  \ The price of care for an individual wishing to enter institutional care depends\
  \ on several factors, e.g. This can only be found out in the specific home where\
  \ the application is made.The current system already allows for a full electronic\
  \ application as well as a written application. We intend to discuss possible changes\
  \ to the queuing system shortly, where we will also consider your suggestions, as\
  \ well as a possible upgrade of the system with the number of vacancies by individual\
  \ care service, by gender, information on how many beds are available, etc.\r\n "
