According to the Labour and Social Affairs Ministry data, 2195 children were placed in institutional care in 2007, which is 221 more than in 2006. In foster care, 317 children were placed last year. In 2007, 5174 children lived in foster families, mostly in families of grandparents and other relatives. Labour Minister Petr Necas would like up to three-fourths of the children who are placed in institutions to live in substitute families in the future. Institutions would look only after children requiring special care, such as physically handicapped children. The ministry said it plans to support foster care and adoption.
