P4 Kronoberg reports on the party on October 23, which was also followed by the fact that several of the hospital’s care facilities had to be closed, as staff shortages emerged when employees took sick leave.
– A stupid and clumsy thing, of course. But I, as the head of the medical clinic, didn’t know about this. Of course, he would have slowed down if he had known about the party’s plans, operations manager Thomas Aronsson tells the radio channel.
The Halloween party will be partial have been paid for by the region as it was part of a work environment activity.
Aronsson makes the assessment that “the party along with other factors” likely contributed to the spread of the infection that followed. According to sources from P4 Kronoberg, the infection must have spread among the hospital patients at the same time.
Roger O Nilsson, director of health and medical care for the region, tells the local newspaper Smålandsposten that the management in the current situation has been “indiscriminate”:
– We apologize, because something like this should not happen. Tracking the infection is now underway to determine if it was the party or other parameters that caused the staff to become ill, says Nilsson, who adds that if the hospital administration had known about the party’s plans, it would not have happened. .
Another party, planned as of Thursday and definitely known by the regional leadership, it was already suspended. It was about celebrating employees who have worked in the region for 25 years.
Roger O Nilsson also claims that this year’s Christmas gift distribution has been canceled. Instead, employees will receive gift cards in the mailbox, all to avoid large gatherings.
– When it comes to the Halloween party, we have conversations with those interested and responsible to create an image of what happened, Roger O Nilsson tells the newspaper.
