Politician's appeal to Tegnell for the home service: "Help us"

Last Friday, Kerstin Rosell (S) sent an e-mail directly to the Public Health Agency's state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell.

- We wanted to exert some kind of pressure because there is a need to make a temporary exception. We hope the authority can push the government to make such a decision, she says.

Isn't it better that you as a Social Democrat turn to the Prime Minister directly?

- I could have done that, but I know that Parliamentary Hans Hoff (S) has talked to the government, says Kerstin Rosell (S).

The Administrative Court ruled that Falkenberg violated the law by not offering home service to persons not written in the municipality. But according to Kerstin Rosell (S), it may still be the case that Falkenberg continues with it.

- We have broken the law because we think that the recommendations of the Public Health Authority weigh more heavily in this state. The Social Services Act is written for a normal condition and it is not now, says Kerstin Rosell (S).

When the verdict came on Monday, two applications for home care were submitted directly to the municipality. During a normal summer, there are about 40-50 people with leisure accommodation who want to use home service in Falkenberg. If the municipality appeals the administrative court's decision is still doubtful.

- We see no benefit in moving forward because the verdict was clear and it will probably be difficult to get a trial permit in the district court, says Kerstin Rosell (S).
