The problems with security alarms that did not sound or sounded too late affected the security of the elderly and sick in at least four Dala municipalities during the autumn. 

Thankfully, no serious incident occurred in Smedjebacken during the time the alarms did not work.

It was great that it did not, says Monica Forsgren, the care committee's social democratic chairman in Smedjebacken.

Tunnel: The alarms should work now

Despite the fact that the alarms did not work during the autumn, no municipality in Dalarna has chosen to terminate the agreement with the alarm company.

We have previously reported that Säter municipality has been notified of SEK 28,000 in compensation from the company.

The company Tunstall writes in an email to SVT Nyheter Dalarna that they have a dialogue with the affected municipalities and that the alarms will now work.
