In 2016, the law stipulated that
 208 toddlers receive one personal assistant each.
 98 toddlers receive one personal nurse each.
In some cases, a number of nurses were employed
in one rehabilitation daycare center without
medical justification.

10. Conclusions:
We need to update the rehabilitative daycare concept
and regulations. We suggest:
One nurse for every ten toddlers with medical needs.
Provide suitable training to the personal assistants,
so that they could carry out more medical
procedures.
