The range of services on offer has increased for all categories of users: the increase has been most marked for alcoholics and drug addicts (the services available more or less doubled between 1991 and 1997); and for prisoners, ex-convicts, immigrants and the mentally ill, as well as for the disabled (69 per cent of municipal authorities provide educational support and assistance, 63.4 per cent provide school transport services and 60.4 per cent provide home help services).
Cet élargissement des services offerts concerne plus particulièrement les alcooliques et les toxicomanes (les services proposés ont pratiquement doublé entre 1991 et 1997), les détenus, ex-détenus, immigrants et malades mentaux, ainsi que les handicapés (69% des municipalités leur apportent un soutien éducatif et une aide ; 63,4% d'entre elles leur assurent un service de transport scolaire et 60,4% leur fournissent des services d'aide à domicile).
