It was in February that the General Counsel received a tip about unreasonable salary levels for doctors in adult psychiatry.
According to the audit report, two doctors must have taken almost all emergency services and emergency preparedness in Falun and Säter over the past four years, and one must have received close to SEK 5 million and the other around SEK 3 million for emergency services and emergency preparedness.
Freed from work during investigation
The Dalarna region has now reported to the Swedish Work Environment Authority for a possible violation of the Working Hours Act, the region is also starting its own investigation and one of the doctors, the one who is scheduled, is off work during the ongoing investigation.
In the case of economic crime, the region is currently unable to respond to:
- Routines and responsibility for scheduling must have changed immediately, says Hans Göran Åhgren, General Counsel and Deputy Regional Director, at Region Dalarna.
- If it is a violation of the Working Hours Act, the Swedish Work Environment Authority must investigate it, he continues.
Do you suspect that this is financial crime?
- I can not say that at present.
Our investigation must show that, says Hans Göran Åhgren.
