Already in this mandate, believes the spokeswoman for social policy of the moderates, Camilla Waltersson Grönvall.

– There are completely realistic opportunities to have time to submit proposals next spring, which also means that you also have time to make decisions before the term ends.

There are problems by allowing the state and municipalities to share responsibility for personal assistance to the disabled, according to LSS. Among other things, that the country’s municipalities make different assessments on who should have the right to a personal assistant and the number of hours of assistance.

But even though LSS has been investigated a great number of times and the problem has been known for a long time, shared responsibility has continued. However, in the January agreement between the government, the Center Party and the Liberals, there is a clause that indicates that the leadership will be investigated, starting in 2021, so that a change can possibly be implemented in the next legislature .

As long as i want do not wait for united opposition. The Left Party, the Moderates, the Christian Democrats and the Democrats of Sweden, agreed on Thursday in the Social Affairs Committee of the Riksdag a so-called commission initiative, where they demand that an amendment be implemented in this legislature.

Mikael Dahlqvist is the spokesperson for the Social Democrats on disability policy and is also a member of the Committee on Social Affairs.

– I think that the initiative of the commission is quite ineffective really because it is already on the political agenda, but it is probably more that you want to be seen and profiled.

The Social Democrats have He has not yet set foot on the question of whether LSS should be a state or municipal issue. Only it should be one of them, not both together. Other parliamentary parties have more or less clearly declared their responsibility for the responsibility of the State. The party that has pushed this demand the most are the Liberals, who did not sign the committee’s initiative. This is explained by the party’s civil rights policy spokesman, Bengt Eliasson, as follows.

– Because it is drafted in such a way that it means that the schedule would cause, in our opinion, total chaos in personal assistance for all the people who today have municipal decisions regarding personal assistance according to LSS.

When do you think an LSS nationalization could take place?

– 2024, 2025, if you want to be honest and serious and not build castles in the air.
