Also this summer, we were met with headlines and stories from employees in the healthcare system about major challenges and employees who go in and work during their vacation to cover up. We must be able to guarantee both patient safety and a good working environment even when the staff is reduced, says Minister for Health Care Acko Ankarberg Johansson at a press conference on Wednesday.
In order to help the health care principals to get a more efficient planning of the staffing during the sensitive vacation periods, the National Board of Health and Welfare will be assigned to review how the planning has looked like in previous years and if there are things that can be done differently.
An oral partial report shall be submitted no later than December 15, 2025 and a final report no later than May 31, 2026.
