IVO carries out a national inspection of the medical care in special residences for the elderly and has concluded that there are a lot of shortcomings.

Among other things in Oxelösund.

Ivo believes that the staff who make medical assessments do not have sufficient competence for the task and do not have sufficient command of the Swedish language.

There are deficiencies in documentation and drug handling does not take place in a patient-safe manner, the authority believes.

The municipality of Oxelösund must report to IVO by March 28, 2023 at the latest what measures it intends to take due to the deficiencies.
