Social affairs fell within the jurisdiction of the Committee of Social Care and the Council for Public Health and Social Policy, which regulated the issues within the field of social care. On the other hand, the financing of socialinstitutions fell within the jurisdiction of the municipalities and towns’ governing body. The activity of the Nursing Home was aimed at taking care of the elderly and helpless people who needed constant help and supervision of others.
