Sažetak
In accordance with the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and based on the National Strategy for People with Disabilities, it is necessary to develop, in Croatia, a uniform system of expertise and uniform criteria to determine disability. For this purpose, a Uniform list of impairments and a Uniform list of functional capabilities, which was made using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) of the World Health Organisation, were structured. Conclusion of the Croatian Government determined a trial application of a Uniform list of functional capabilities, but the experts also tested the Uniform list of impairments. The test involved the experts from the seven bodies of expertise disability and included 441 persons. The results indicate that in most cases, about 80%, the proposed list of functional capabilities and impairments, cannot or can only partially be applied by the bodies of expertise that, in accordance with applicable law, determine the existence of rights based on bodily impairments. In only 4.3% of procedures performed experts believe that using the Uniform list of functional capabilities and Uniform list of impairments enables them to fully describe the condition of the person and that the instruments can be used in the expert evaluation of disability.
