translate English to French: In the field of basic forms of care it is a problem that the large number of small settlements are not able to financially maintain these facilities (in 2001, 30 per cent of the municipalities operated all forms of facilities providing essential social welfare services), so the principle of accessibility cannot prevail in the case of those people who live in small settlements.
Concernant les services de base, un grand nombre de petites agglomérations ne sont pas en mesure d'y subvenir financièrement (en 2001, 30 pour cent des municipalités exploitaient l'ensemble des établissements fournissant des services essentiels de protections sociale), ce qui remet en question le principe de l'accès pour leurs citoyens.
