It is midwives from Umeå and Skellefteå who have agreed to work in Lycksele some shifts, which means that the region has now managed to solve the staffing up to and including week 38. Erika Häggblad at the midwives' association is critical of the midwives who are in the county now allowed to work twice .
- I myself will go to Lycksele and work at least two shifts, but then someone has to cover for me in Skellefteå.
This means that we who have already worked twice all summer risk not being able to take the leave we have already postponed, she says.
What the autumn will look like then is unclear, but health and medical care director Brita Winsa says that at the moment it will be possible to keep all three maternity units open.
