A national care agency can cut the queues for care, Christian Democrats suggest.
The current “dysfunctional” system with 21 regions that control care must be rounded up if people are to receive treatment within the time they are entitled to, according to KD leader Ebba Busch.
– Attention queues are a big problem, says Ebba Busch at a press conference together with attention policy spokesman Acko Ankarberg, who is also chairman of the Riksdag’s social committee.
The situation was acute even before the pandemic, according to KD, but the queues have grown since then and there are also many who have not sought care due to the pandemic. This means extra deferred care to take care of.
– The government has added money. That’s good, but not enough, says Ankarberg.
She emphasizes that the reasons are both the lack of properly educated staff and the organization of medical care is an obstacle.
– We propose a structural reform, a national health service, says Ebba Busch.
KD allocates two billion to the agency, an agency that assumes that an agreement is signed that the 21 regions will work together so that people receive care within the 90 days of the care guarantee.
When a person has waited for care for more than the 90 days that the guarantee of care establishes as a limit, they must receive an offer of care in another region, a region where there is capacity to carry out the treatment immediately. The agency should keep track of where in the country there are opportunities to offer care.
In the long term, KD wants the care guarantee to be tightened, from 90 to 30 days.
Already today, patients have the right to request care in another region after 90 days. But few know it and it is difficult for the individual to demand that right, says KD.
