Despite bans and revoked permits, unscrupulous and criminal actors are a recurring problem in healthcare, according to the Swedish Health and Care Inspectorate (Ivo).

The authority banned 16 healthcare activities in 2024 and 2025 and reported several hundred licensed professionals.

In care - such as personal assistance and LSS housing - Ivo has revoked permits for 104 inappropriate activities.

Despite the fact that supervision has been intensified, inappropriate actors remain a continuing problem, the authority says in a press release.

Ivo therefore points to the need for, among other measures, greater ability to identify and track people who appear in multiple cases.
