According to the municipality's Director of Health and Care, Magnus Johansson, there are currently 2,400 people who have home service in the municipality of Norrköping. Of these, 226, ie just under ten per cent, have chosen a private care provider.
- Unfortunately, the interest is rather low.
You say sorry - why?
- The ambition was, of course, that this would have a greater scope. But it is a political ambition. I'm just set to create the conditions. We do not try to influence the caregivers to choose one or the other.
How does it feel to have gone as far as the police report of Genuine care?
- Extremely boring. It was nobody's ambition to land in this.
Initially, 15 companies announced an interest in participating in "Own choice". After a cleansing of the municipality, seven remained. After, among other things, a bankruptcy and the development of recent days, only three private executors remain.
