"The midwife has been double assessed and twice punished"

- It is unfortunate that you can be sentenced in court for such a thing.

The care association has previously criticized the charge against the midwife, who on Tuesday was convicted of gross negligence for bodily harm at Kristianstad District Court.

- We believe that the Inspectorate for Health and Care, Ivo, will decide such cases, says Malin Tillgren.

Ivo has already examined the case of Elliot, who suffered a birth injury in 2016.

- Ivo criticized the midwife but not so seriously that any trial time was decided. Nor was the identification withdrawn, says Malin Tillgren.

She fears that the district court ruling will lead to the midwife and nurse profession now becoming less attractive - unfortunate, since it is about the shortage, says Malin Tillgren.

- There is also a risk that you do not report to Ivo as often when you know that the case can also end up in the thing.

Malin Tillgren also points to a difference between the district court's and Ivo's focus.

- The court works with a penalty, while Ivo is always forward-looking so that it does not happen again. And that's the important thing.
