This is the first time the National Board of Health and Welfare has evaluated how the national guidelines for ADHD and autism care are being followed. The report shows that there are major differences depending on where in the country you live.
Around half of the country's health centres have not started any work to implement the guidelines. The figure is even lower for municipal services.
"It is not acceptable that children's access to care and support is determined by where in the country they live. National guidelines exist precisely to ensure care on equal terms, but they are not being fully used today," says Björn Eriksson, Director General of the National Board of Health and Welfare, in a press release.
