The region has hired various types of personnel, such as developers and analysts, since 2018 to work on the introduction of the new system. This has cost a total of almost 800 million kronor until October this year.
It only took three days after Millennium began to be introduced in mid-November before it was paused due to, among other things, technical problems and major protests from personnel. The pause is for an indefinite period.

Otherwise, we would really not be careful with taxpayers' money. We do not waste taxpayers' money.
