The master thesis focuses on the analysis of the implementation of personal assistance with the help of statistical data in the research work and interviews. The current situation faces various challenges. Therefore, the basic purpose of the research is to examine the implementation of personal assistance from an economic and organizational point of view and to provide guidelines for legal changes. The purpose is to present the practice of Sweden and Great Britain and comparing it with the regulation in Slovenia. The first part of the research is based on interview methodology. The target group are stakeholders of personal assistance and professionals in this field. On the basis of the interviewees, data will be collected on the attitudes of the assistance arrangement. The results of the analysis of the current situation showed that users are satisfied with personal assistance and it enables them to have a better quality of life. Despite the main advantage, the pressing area is the unfinished and non-unified Personal Assistance Act, which has led to unstable funding. In the second part of the research, the aim is to study the implementation of assistance in Slovenia. All institutes in Slovenia are analysed, covering the number of users, the number of hours of implementation and the calculation of costs on a monthly and annual level by statistical region in the period from 2019 to 2023. The key contribution of the master thesis is to use the obtained statistical data to define the challenges of the current implementation of personal assistance and to make suggestions for improvements.
