An elderly person with advanced dementia had to wait for over eleven months from the decision on the right to accommodation to being offered a place.
The Health and Social Care Inspectorate (Ivo) has now turned to the Administrative Court and requested that Luleå Municipality pay 361,400 kronor in fines for the delay, reports Norrbottens-Kuriren.
The newspaper has previously reported that the social services administration in Luleå expects the municipality to have to pay a total of 50 million kronor in fines to the state from 2023 onwards.
This is because they have not arranged places in elderly care homes and group homes quickly enough. If it takes more than three months from the decision date, Ivo considers it to have taken an unreasonably long time.
