Norrköping Municipality has carried out an investigation of the company "Genuine care" when there was suspicion that efforts for home care workers have not been made. According to the municipality's audit, companies' time and effort registrations, the basis for payments and time logs were corrected.

The corrections must have consisted in the extension of times in visits made first and foremost in the work pass. According to the municipality, the investigation shows that the company systematically manipulated the basis for payments and that the company therefore received significant amounts on the wrong basis.

The agreement is terminated with immediate effect and reimbursement requirements may be set by the municipality. But no police report has been made.

- No, we haven't done that yet. But we are looking at different ways forward. We will ensure that the municipality goes financially harmless from this, says Olle Vikmång (S), who is chairman of the Health and Care Committee in Norrköping.

Home care workers who have had home care through the company "Genuine care" have been contacted and transferred to the municipal provider as of Thursday.

- In parallel, as we worked on an in-depth investigation, we prepare the municipal organization for this to happen, says Olle Vikmång.
