The Minister emphasizes, however, that the proposals presented now are not specifically linked to the mass murder in Örebro.
The National Board for Health and Welfare's Assessment of Medical and Social Evaluations (SBU) will review the methods and research basis available to make better assessments regarding the risk of committing violence against others.
Furthermore, an assignment is clarified for the National Board of Health and Welfare.
Regarding the development of psychiatric compulsory care, says Forssmed.
When SBU has completed its work, the National Board of Health and Welfare will take over and ensure that this support for professionals to make these assessments is developed.
Forssmed further states that the doctors who are to make the assessments have "a very difficult task".
Therefore, the best possible research-based support is needed.
SBU has "until the summer" to complete its work, and from the autumn, it is intended that the National Board of Health and Welfare will take over.
It is already known that the government is allocating nearly 1.6 billion kronor for the national strategy within mental health and suicide prevention, in an agreement with the Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions (SKR).
