Starbrink (L): The service must be neutral between different care providers
- The telephone counseling at 1177 is an important channel into healthcare. When the healthcare system changes, the residents' contact paths also need to be developed. We must ensure that we continue to have a high medical quality, good availability and great confidence in the service. We must also ensure that the service is neutral between different care providers, says Anna Starbrink (L), health and medical care regional council in a press release.
