ADDA procures goods and services for 20 billion kronor per year, including placements at HVB homes.

Åsa Edman, chief lawyer at ADDA, believes that they must be allowed to check managers and procurement officers against criminal records and suspicion registers, and investigate whether they have large debts and relationships with criminals, reports Sveriges Radio Ekot.

Today, too few checks are being made, according to Edman.

The risk is that people with an agenda or suffering from such vulnerabilities will be exploited by less scrupulous, unscrupulous or criminal actors, she says to the radio.

ADDA has submitted a petition to the government because they believe the current situation is problematic.
