Demands: Introduce 'Task Force' for HVB Homes

The Social Democrats want the government to introduce a "task force" to strengthen the Health and Social Care Inspectorate (Ivo). The purpose is to enable HVB homes with serious deficiencies to be quickly closed.

Last summer, the police sounded the alarm about HVB homes run by criminals, and there have also been other reports of misconduct at the homes where children are placed.

Investigations and measures take too long. Inspections are too infrequent and too few, says Fredrik Lundh Sammeli, social policy spokesperson for The Moderate Party.

The so-called task force, which is to reinforce Ivo, will consist of senior officials from other authorities, such as the Tax Agency, the Inspectorate for Social Insurance, and the National Audit Office.

In September, the government gave Ivo the task of tightening supervision of HVB homes and strengthening cooperation with the police and the Economic Crime Authority. But The Moderate Party does not think it is enough.

Measures are needed here and now to stop HVB homes with links to criminality, says Lundh Sammeli.
