Internal email shows: Attendo directs sharp criticism at top politicians

The letter was sent on behalf of the CEO Ulrika Eriksson, and must have been sent out to the municipal board members and the Elderly Committee.

This includes how the company itself views the situation, and how the winding up of the business will take place.

Attendo then criticizes the municipality's statements in the media:

"[...] We also want to regret that the municipality in its communication continues to direct its accusations against Attendo as a company, when it is clear from both the municipality's and Attendo's own investigation that it is individuals in Gottsunda home care area who were responsible for the irregularities.

We also believe that representatives of the municipality wrongly accused Attendo of endangering the lives and health of customers, as neither the municipality nor Attendo has so far been able to prove that any necessary efforts have been made. ”

S-politician: Did not have evidence

The committee's chairman, Eva Christiernin (S), has previously told P4 Uppland that

.

She now admits that there is no evidence for this, but still stands by the statement.

- People who have home care need it to be able to live their lives.

What we got was that these efforts did not work out.

Then you can draw your own conclusions about where the risk lies.

And no, we had not been able to prove that it was so, but there was a risk and then we need to intervene, she says SVT Uppsala.

But it is a serious accusation, can you understand that it is a strong statement when there is no evidence?

- We had a document that told us that there is a clear risk here that people do not receive support and based on that we acted.

In the clip, Attendo tells more about the letter that was sent to Uppsala's politicians.
