All members of the elderly committee in Uppsala receive scathing criticism from the politically appointed auditors.
This means that they have failed in our opinion. A grade that is not often given, it is very unusual, says Kajsa Wejryd (S), vice chairman of the municipal audit committee, to UNT.
Among other things, it is established that home care staff have not known how to report irregularities and that laws, regulations, and municipal council goals have not been followed.
Now the municipal council must take a stand on the proposal from the auditors at their next meeting on April 28. It may lead to the entire committee being forced to resign.
Cecilia Forss (M), who sits on the elderly committee, is self-critical and accepts the auditors' message.
I think it was an entirely obvious decision. Our internal control of home care has simply not worked, she says to UNT and adds that she is willing to make her seat available.
It was in November last year that several elderly women came forward in UNT telling that they had been subjected to rapes and other assaults by home care staff. The newspaper could also reveal major shortcomings in the municipality's handling of rape allegations.
