The Liberals' group leader Maria Lundqvist Brömster would like to see a similar initiative in Västerbotten, with mobile emergency psychiatric teams, which were recently launched in Norrbotten.
- Many times it is the police who transport the patient to the hospital and it does not feel dignified, says Maria Lundqvist Brömster (L).
In both 2017 and 2021, the party tried to raise the issue - but was rejected with reference to costs and that it is difficult to offer equal care to all citizens with reference to the great distances in the county.
In the clip above, regional councilor Emma Lindqvist (MP) explains why they currently do not want to go ahead with the Liberals' wish for a psychiatric ambulance.
