During the crown pandemic, conversations with the 1177 Healthcare Guide increased sharply. No less important is the superior care staff who feel challenged and pushed by managers.
– Many want confirmation that it is okay to stay home because they feel compelled to go to work even if they are sick. They feel questioned and managers think “a little sick can be,” says a nurse in 1177, who wants to be anonymous, to SVT.
May be a legal consequence
At the same time, the SVT survey shows that staff working despite the disease, combined with a lack of protective equipment and difficulties in creating safe distances between residents, may have been decisive factors for the infection to heal itself. in elderly residents.
Something that is confirmed in the Municipal Survey of Unions, where several hundred representatives of security in the care of the elderly affirm that it has happened that the personnel have worked without the appropriate protective equipment.
According to labor law expert Tommy Iseskog, employers are likely to be brought to justice when the crown pandemic ends.
– It is likely to be so. Basically, it’s about having to do risk analysis and I think these have been largely lacking.
Family members are considering the request.
SVT has spoken to relatives of several people who died in nursing homes. Some of them are very disappointed in the behavior of the accommodation and are considering reporting to the police.
Can such notification lead to something?
– It is about observing a standard of care for residents and doing what you can before protecting residents from infection. If you have not, there is, in principle, a reason to assert that there is an abusive and extremely abusive death of another, says Tommy Iseskog, and continues:
– It is an exceptional situation in every way. But just because it’s exceptional doesn’t mean you don’t have to meet this standard of care. So I think we will see legal consequences.
