Re-prioritization

Through reprioritization, more operating teams and better utilization of new premises, the Social Democrats want to shorten the care queues, that is, waiting times for, for example, operations.

- It is about an approach.

Not letting the patient wait a few days or weeks for a letter in the mailbox, but you simply get a time to feel that you are well taken care of and can plan your life, says Lena Hallengren.

SD criticism

According to the Social Democrats, the promise will be fulfilled - if they gain power in the region after the election.

The opposition party Sweden Democrats' group leader in the region, Anton Berglund, is, however, skeptical.

And believes that S during his time in power did not deliver good enough care.
