The administration of functional support in Malmö has prioritized managers over the coronavine vaccine. Ten times more syringes have been allocated to staff than to care recipients. Of 175 syringes, only about 15 have gone to frail elderly people in LSS homes.
The Malmö functional support administration is scrutinized by the Skåne Region because the administrators for the coronavine vaccine have been prioritized. Out of about 175 doses of vaccine, only about 15 have been destined for vulnerable older people in LSS homes.
The priority list of the Swedish Public Health Agency is clear. It is headed by the sick elderly in special housing and the elderly with home care, as well as the staff who work closer to this very fragile group.
But the city of Malmö has identified another group that has been given top priority. These are older people with intellectual disabilities who live in LSS homes. Decisions about the LSS housing grant apply to the rest of life.
The functional support administration in the city of Malmö is responsible for the LSS homes where a total of one thousand Malmö residents live.
Up to this point the functional support administration has received approximately 175 doses of vaccine.
• Users, that is, people over 70 years of age with LSS interventions, have collectively received about fifteen doses. “There is more planning available,” according to the administration, to vaccinate about 100 of that group “soon.”
• At least ten times more syringes, about 160, have already been sent to staff.
As Sydsvenskan previously reported, the Skåne Region is reviewing the priorities set by the Malmö Functional Support Administration.
First, the Skåne Region has reacted to the fact that many of the staffing doses have been allocated to managers and support functions who do not work close to vulnerable users on a daily basis.
– It shouldn’t happen that way, Maria Landgren, Vaccine Coordinator for the Skåne Region, told Sydsvenskan as early as Tuesday evening.
Skåne Region Vaccine Coordinator Maria Landgren spoke to the Senior Manager of the Malmö Functional Support Administration on Wednesday. “They have made mistakes,” he tells Sydsvenskan about the managers who have been given priority for syringes.
On Wednesday, Maria Landgren spoke directly with the senior manager of functional support management, Tarek Borg.
– When it comes to the Malmö functional support administration, it is the municipality that sends staff to our vaccination units, so it is their responsibility to send the right people, he tells Sydsvenskan.
Maria Landgren is clear that the administration of functional support in several cases has vaccinated the wrong people.
– Yes, they did wrong. They know what went wrong. They sent staff working in support functions, but it is not the group that is prioritized now, and it has been clarified. Now you know what applies.
On Wednesday, Sydsvenskan tried in vain to speak to the head of the functional support administration, Tarek Borg. You have chosen to answer only the questions by text message. There he does not admit that any mistake was made.
Why did you prioritize multiple managers?
“Several functions have been identified as important to guarantee the work with a friendly work for the patient and the user. Most of them are licensed in health and healthcare and can, if necessary, support operational work within the healthcare and healthcare units, ”writes Tarek Borg.
“Can if support is necessary” does not mean that they work mainly close to the user?
“No, but to secure the job, the assessment is that they should be able to come in and work close to the user.”
So you shouldn’t have prioritized them, right?
“Well, as we have written previously, it is to ensure patient work and user-friendly work.”
But why have you vaccinated more than ten times more employees than users?
“As we have previously reported, there are two routes to vaccination. One for employees and one for users. Employee monitoring is managed by Sus and user monitoring is managed by primary care. It is always the availability of the vaccine that matters, but it is the region that is responsible for the fix, “Tarek Borg writes in a text message.
