- It is about improving quality and limiting cost increases.
If we do not work in new ways and do not think new, then we will have difficulty coping with the welfare we have today, says Bengt Friberg, municipal director in Hudiksvall.
Large deficits
The number of elderly people in Hudiksvall municipality is increasing and this affects the economy, but elderly care must cost money, according to Bengt Friberg.
The entire social and care activities seem to point to a deficit of more than 50 million this year.
- We have had a deficit in the business for a few years, but then we can not run in the long run, then you erode all other business in the municipality. It is important to work together to both improve the business but also find smart ways to work so that the cost increases do not stand out, says Bengt Friberg.
