Hear the chief physician tell you about the strained situation in the clip above.

It was on Sunday that Skaraborg Hospital went into staff mode, which P4 Skaraborg was the first to report on.

- This is because we have holidays and a large part of the staff is free.

We have not been able to bring in enough substitutes, says Anette Trenge Jarlshammar.

13 new care places are opened - despite staff shortages

The hospital is now trying to reduce the influx of patients through mobile teams.

It also collaborates with Skaraborg's 15 municipalities and has opened a new care place group.

- We have overcrowding in all care wards and when that was not enough, we had to open another 13 care places, says Anette Trenge Jarlshammar.

Who will staff those places due to the staffing difficulties?

- The places are staffed by our own staff who enter.

There will be extra shifts and overtime.
