The speaker demonstrates expertise in the field of organizing social welfare and local government services. Particular knowledge is highlighted regarding the financing of long-term general care services, the determination of client co-payments (or self-contribution), and the mechanisms for service procurement. Specific terminology is employed, including "general care service," "co-payment," and the "service house project."

The speaker demonstrates profound expertise in the field of social welfare and care reform, utilizing precise figures (e.g., 6,700 pensioners, 52% cost coverage) and specific legal provisions. They reference authorities such as the Chancellor of Justice and highlight specific areas of concern (for instance, the discrepancy in the amount of pocket money retained in general versus special care). Furthermore, they utilize statistics comparing the poverty risk among Estonia’s elderly population with that of the European Union.
