This means that the region has to pay the two nurses at IVA in Värnamo each SEK 30,000 in compensation.
- We have been given sick leave and staff who need to be home because of the symptoms of IVA in Värnamo and then we made this decision to include these two nurses, says Kjell Ivarsson, hospital director of surgical care.
To cope with summer staffing, patients are also moved to other regions. So far, nine patients have been relocated.
