I am also from the Netherlands. I have to say, services are a lot better than in most countries it seems, but we do have long waiting lists, especially for long-term care. The govt also recently issued massive budget cuts on long-term care and is issuing a 3.5% budget cut on mental health for 2010. This worries me, as I may lose my long-term care funds (and I need to go itno some form of supported living or group home) and mental hospital is already understaffed. But for me, it is also hard to get appropriate services since I'm autistic, and there are very little services out there for those without intellectual disabilities (again, however, it seems better than in most places).
Thanks for this!
