According to the party, waiting times for 1177 have been a problem for several years and not just during the pandemic.
They believe that the cooperation with several regions in which Region Västmanland is involved, and which means that calls are channeled between the regions, contributes to longer waiting times for Västmanland residents.
- In Stockholm, for example, the waiting time to 1177 is around three minutes, it is possible to get such short waiting times in Stockholm, it should be possible here as well, says Mikael Andersson Elfgren (M).
The chairman of the Regional Board in Västmanland, Denise Norström (S), wants to wait to comment on the motion, which is now being prepared.
Only after the facts have been produced can you take a stand and give an answer, she writes to SVT.
