- In two months I have not received a single feedback from any of the three politicians. I understand that they also had vacations, but they could have heard of them and said: thank you for your mail, we will hear from you when we are back, says Åsa Holgersson at the Care Association in Västernorrland.

She sent the mail away in the morning before midsummer. The recipients were the regional councils Glenn Nordlund (S), Lena Asplund (M) and Ingeborg Viksten (L).

"Completely oblivious"

- I take it completely. We said I would answer and I actually thought I answered, but I haven't. I apologize and take it upon myself, ”says Lena Asplund (M).

What is the risk of being perceived as non-balance?

- It is not at all negligence but it is completely oblivious on my part, she says.

Acute situation

The question of the provision of skills is urgent, says the Healthcare Association. This summer's tough work situation where members cried at work and several people chose to leave their jobs shows that something must happen quickly, says Åsa Holgersson.

- It has escalated. Before the turn of the year, it was seen that the baton staff decreased slightly, but that has increased during the spring, she says.

- We haven't received a report in the summer yet, but it's very sad to hear. Then we must have a dialogue about how to do better next summer. It's clear that I'm getting worried, says Lena Asplund (M).
