The proposal that housing support for users with mental disabilities should be transferred from private to municipal management has met with criticism from employees. But the chairman of the social welfare board tells SVT Nyheter Väst that it is a way to implement the necessary savings.

"You can coordinate the activities in a completely different way. There are different performers, and now we all get under one and the same hat, says the Uddevalla Party's Ann-Charlott Gustafsson.

"You have to work carefully"

Current housing supporters have also warned that changes could be harmful to users with mental disabilities.

– I understand that they have a concern about what will happen, but then it is important to work carefully and build trust so that they feel that they will get the effort they have had before, says Ann-Charlott Gustafsson.
