For a long time, the work environment had deteriorated and conflicts had arisen and worsened in the workplace.

In November last year, the safety representatives at the Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Ward 45 at Sunderby Hospital made a report to the Swedish Work Environment Authority.

The work environment and the conflicts in the workplace had led to doctors and two thirds of the other staff resigning.

Witnessed a difficult work environment

In January this year, the staff shortage was severe after all redundancies.
