Many people turn to 1177 when they are sick or need advice. Today, patients can have a video consultation with a nurse, but S believes the service should be expanded so it is also possible to consult a doctor via video call.

S also wants to see a "health center lift", where one goal is that all elderly people and people who repeatedly need help from healthcare should have a permanent doctor by 2030. Across the entire population, the goal is that 80 percent should have a permanent doctor.

The party also wants to see fewer patients listed per doctor. Today, this is lacking at many health centers, which have far more patients listed than the recommended 1,100 inhabitants per doctor, according to S.

S has not attached any funding to the proposals. It is expected that the investments will fit within regular budget priorities.
