Remarks to progress by Liga (last modified Apr 1, 2025):

Efforts should be continued and intensified to ensure that children and young people have access to high-quality healthcare, regardless of their social or economic background. This could be further improved by expanding prevention programmes, promoting mental health and removing barriers to access. For children and young people, especially those with disabilities or chronic illnesses, therapies should be free of charge, see also www.besserbehandelt.at.
  As part of the Government Plan 2025-2029, the federal government is launching a process to improve child and youth welfare, harmonise standards and provide funding for cross-sectoral projects (see Government Plan 2025-2029: https://www.bundeskanzleramt.gv.at/bundeskanzleramt/die-bundesregierung/regierungsdokumente.html).
