Anna-Lena Danielsson (S), who is the chairperson of the health care committee, says that they will continue to work with the action plan that was developed to secure maternity care.
- We have total agreement among the politicians that we should have three maternity units and that we should have Sweden's best maternity care.
But there is a long way to go and the staff are extremely important in this work.
Can you promise that the maternity ward in Lycksele will reopen on January 23?
- I wish I could promise that, but I don't think there is anyone who can do it.
But we are working on and doing everything we can to ensure that we have staff so that it can be open then.
