The Hungarian daily, Magyar Nemzet, published an interview with the founder of the Barnahus in the Hungarian city of Szombathely, Dr. Lazary. Now the head of the National Barnahus Know-How Centre, Dr. Lazary talks about the establishment of the Barnahus, their cases, and how the Child Protection Law allows police, judges or parents to ask the Barnahus to interview children. As a result, they received 17 requests in January alone. Since 2019 the Ministry of Human Resources has provided financial support to the Szombathely Barnahus National Know-How Centre, and the Budapest Barnahus, which will be opened in Buda on 20 November 2019.
