In 2019, Ivo inspected a nursing home in Gnosjö municipality after relatives sounded the alarm.
An autistic man then lived in an LSS accommodation that was out in the woods.
According to the complaints, there were several shortcomings in the accommodation and the autistic man was sometimes locked up.
However, IVO stated in the review that there were no shortcomings and closed the case.
After SVT's Assignment review drew attention to the matter, a number of complaints were received by the Ombudsman.
They then made their own inspection of the accommodation and found a number of shortcomings, including that the man was regularly locked up.
Something that is not allowed.
Directs sharp criticism
The Ombudsman also decided to review the supervision that Ivo had carried out.
And notes that IVO has failed in its supervision both in its execution and in the documentation.
According to the Ombudsman, it is difficult to understand how IVO reasoned when the authority, despite the serious information contained in the decision basis, made the assessment that the user was offered interventions with good quality and that he achieved good living conditions.
The Ombudsman takes the shortcomings in IVO's supervision very seriously and the authority is therefore criticized.
The man was later moved to another municipality.
He passed away last year.
