The accumulated deficit at the turn of the year 2020 amounted to SEK 1007 million, but then a write-down of SEK 727 million was made for special reasons.

This means that the deficit is now SEK 401 million.

The ruling majority in the region thus believes that that deficit may be gone in four years.

Torvalla reopens

In addition to this, care must also be better and closer to the citizens.

Digital healthcare must be developed.

The health center in Torvalla will be reopened and in Funäsdalen a new health center will be built.

Better personnel policy

In recent years, there has been great turbulence at Östersund Hospital, with staff flight and recurring reports to the Swedish Work Environment Authority about poor working conditions.

Much has been about working hours and weekend service.

But even here, the region envisages an improvement.

No one should have to work more than two weekends out of five according to plan.
