On Tuesday, SVT News reported that the Health Care Association is critical to the management of the cardiac reception at Norrland University Hospital. The reason is that they should have investigated who in the staff talked to the media, which violates the freedom of communication.

Nicklas Sandström has mentioned the need for a whistle blower function several times before, but has been denied his motions.

- I think yesterday's news in SVT shows that there is a need, he says.

Interpellation to the Chairman of the Regional Board

Sandström (M) has asked the regional council Peter Olofsson (S) in an interpellation how he views the issue of message protection.

- Maybe it makes him change his mind. Many other regions have already introduced a whistle blower function. We need to clarify the important function of freedom of communication in a political organization.

"Populist"

Peter Olofsson (S) says that the issue of a whistle blower has been up before.

- But in this case, a whistle blower hadn't made any difference. The trade union was told this, then no whistle blower was needed. Rather than spend money on a consultant, one should train the managers in freedom of communication. It is populist to think that you can solve this issue with consultants, he says.
