Transcript

Choi:

As you mentioned, the integrated care service for people with severe developmental disabilities is a program that provides one-on-one, customized care for those who have severe behavioral challenges or other conditions that make it difficult for them to use existing care services. How many people are currently receiving this service, and how is it being utilized?

Kim:

Currently, the integrated care service for people with severe developmental disabilities is provided in three types. With one-on-one support as a default, there is a 24-hour support type that provides around-the-clock care, a personalized one-on-one support type that covers daytime activities only, and a group-based one-on-one support type. The service was initially designed to support 2,340 people across the country. The service began on June 11, 2024, so it has now been in operation for about 5 to 6 months.
