On Tuesday, the Swedish Health and Care Inspectorate, IVO, released a new report on the country’s nursing homes:
IVO has concluded that for every fifth resident, the elderly have not received the individual care assessment to which they are entitled under the law; this applies in all 21 regions of the country.
Now the leader of the center is roaring and believes that the lack of care in nursing homes is a national tragedy, writes DN.
On Wednesday evening, Prime Minister Löfven has called a meeting with all party leaders and then Annie Lööf (C) will raise the issue and demand that the government act.
– I hope that the government goes from word to deed. This is a shared responsibility. On the one hand, municipalities and regions have an important responsibility to comply with current laws and regulations. But the government has the ultimate responsibility to ensure that we have clear guidelines and good legislation for the future, Lööf tells DN.
Lööf: “Everyone has a responsibility”
According to the newspaper, Annie Lööf believes it is unfortunate that many of the covid patients in nursing homes have not received the necessary care.
– It is the object of all criticism that they have not followed the basic legislation that exists on individual evaluation. But we must not insist on who is to blame, but learn quickly now that we are in the second wave. We all have a responsibility there, Lööf tells DN.
Local restraining orders can be entered in nursing homes.
Minister of Social Affairs: “It should not be taken lightly.”
