Subsequent to the language legislation of 1986, the legal framework of Catalan has varied depending on the majority party that forms a government.

This study examines the impact of Finland’s social and healthcare reform on language-based welfare services for the Swedish-speaking population of Finland. The reform shifted healthcare responsibility from municipalities to regional wellbeing service counties (WBSCs), altering established linguistic boundaries in the process.

This article highlights the silence of selected South African health policies on managing the language barrier in healthcare. The analysis establishes that the selected policies make limited provisions, if any, on the language barrier and fail to account for how the language barrier should be addressed in...
