The Elderly Care Administration will comment on the City Executive Board's proposed program for urban farming. While generally positive about urban farming's benefits for sustainability, public health, and social inclusion, their response will focus on its impact on elderly care. They propose, among other things, that district councils be made responsible for farming at special housing facilities and that the term "specialboenden" be clarified to "särskilda boenden" in the program.

The Elderly Care Committee will consider a proposal to comment on a memo regarding a national digital infrastructure for health data. This proposal introduces three new laws to ease information sharing between healthcare providers concerning patients and available care capacity, also removing the requirement for patient consent for such sharing. While the Elderly Care Administration supports the proposal, it emphasizes the need for national standards, tailored support for cognitively impaired patients, and clear guidance to prevent administrative burdens for municipal care providers.

The Committee on the Elderly is to consider a referral response regarding the "Needs-Based Care" inquiry (SOU 2026:38), which proposes a new care guarantee for specialized care. This proposal would shorten waiting times for medical assessments (30 days instead of 90) and planned care (60 days instead of 90), and introduce an information guarantee. The Elderly Care Administration views these proposals positively, anticipating increased accessibility and strengthened patient rights, and believes it will not directly affect elderly care but may increase the need for prompt social interventions.

The Elderly Affairs Committee is set to approve a report detailing how 40 non-profit organizations serving Stockholm's elderly utilized 12.6 million SEK in grants during 2025. While most organizations used the funds as intended, five had to return portions of their grants due to unspent or improperly used money.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör district administration proposes approving GSR Event AB's application to serve alcohol to the public until 5:00 AM on Fridays and Saturdays at Slakthuset, located at Slakthusgatan 6 in Johanneshov. The company, which previously held a temporary extended permit, is now seeking a permanent one. The administration supports the application, citing the Slakthus area's development into a cultural and food hub, as well as positive ongoing dialogue regarding safety with property owners and the police.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör district administration is reviewing a proposed common job description for cultural coordinators across Stockholm, aiming to clarify their role and improve residents' access to culture regardless of their location. The administration suggests the district board approve the statement, which notably prioritizes children and people with disabilities in cultural initiatives.

Council members Jan Jönsson and Anne-Lie Elfvén (L) proposed that Stockholm explore implementing the "Scotland Model" to provide faster and more coordinated support for at-risk children and youth through improved collaboration between schools, social services, healthcare, and police. The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör district administration, while acknowledging the importance of early interventions, believes similar models like the Preschool Team and SSPF (school, social services, police, and recreation) already exist. Therefore, the administration suggests prioritizing the development of these well-functioning existing collaboration models instead.

A motion proposes that the City of Stockholm investigate implementing a municipal compensation system for individuals who experienced abuse or serious neglect within social care after 1980, as a state system only covered those affected between 1920 and 1980. While Enskede-Årsta-Vantör district administration agrees that victims need redress, they believe this complex issue should be investigated at a national level to ensure consistent and legally sound handling across the country.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör district council will consider a proposal from Andréa Hedin (M) to strengthen efforts against gang crime and youth recruitment. The proposal suggests that the City of Stockholm's overarching reinforcement team should gain specialized expertise in children and youth involved in crime, along with a clearer mandate to manage and guide gang-related cases. While the district administration agrees on the importance of preventing youth from entering criminality and supports the city-wide team, they recommend that the primary work with at-risk children and youth continue within the district administrations' regular operations to maintain local expertise.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör City District Council will consider a referral response regarding the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency's proposed changes to rules for compensating municipalities that collect packaging waste. While the City District Administration views the proposal to better reflect municipal costs positively, they note that the revised regulations do not include compensation for collecting packaging waste in parks, a task the administration is responsible for.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör District Council is considering a detailed development plan for parts of Enskede Gård 1:1 in Stureby, proposing approximately 54 new homes (40 rental, 14 terraced condominiums) along Hemskogsvägen. While the administration supports the multi-family building and terraced houses east of Hemskogsvägen for improving safety and housing diversity, they oppose the development of eight terraced houses west of Hemskogsvägen due to the significant impact on Hemskogen's high natural values. Additionally, clarifications are requested regarding stormwater management and ensuring the Hemskogen preschool's loading zone does not block new residential entrances.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör district administration proposes a non-profit public partnership (IOP) with Rågsveds IF to enhance safety and social control in Vantör. This collaboration aims to increase adult presence at Rågsved's football pitch for a safer environment, and lower barriers for children, especially girls and 10-12 year olds, to participate in leisure activities. The partnership also seeks to boost parental involvement in association life, thereby reducing the risk of exclusion and crime among young people.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör City District Council will appoint named officials to request assistance from the Police or Prison and Probation Service when making decisions about care or custody under the Act with Special Provisions on the Care of Young Persons (LVU). This is due to staffing changes and ensures the council can act quickly to protect young people in need of care, superseding previous appointments.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör City District Council will consider a proposal to authorize specific officials to request police assistance for enforcing decisions on protected housing for children, in accordance with the new law effective April 2024. This decision will supersede previous authorizations, granting this power to newly designated officials for 2026.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör District Council will consider updating its delegation of authority for 2026, which allows it to transfer decision-making power in certain matters to various officials for more efficient administration. These updates are necessary due to recent legal changes concerning financial assistance and the handling of agreements for placing children and young people under the Social Services Act and the Act with Special Provisions on the Care of Young People.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör District Council will address a letter from Peter Backlund (L) concerning the health status of children in care. The letter inquires about the district administration's follow-up on these children's health, dental care, and vaccinations. The administration reports having structured individual-level processes and plans to recruit a health coordinator to strengthen systematic group-level follow-up and gain a better overview of health development over time.

The Liberal party inquired with the Enskede-Årsta-Vantör district administration about how they ensure elderly home care recipients are not abused and what preventive measures are in place. The administration responded that they maintain systematic quality control, including follow-ups according to social services law, criminal record checks during recruitment, and procedures for reporting misconduct via Lex Sarah or to the police. They also stated that these quality requirements apply equally to municipal and private providers, and support is offered to those affected.

Emelie Wassermann (SD) has raised concerns that the reorganisation of preschools in Enskede-Årsta-Vantör has left principals with too many employees, potentially impacting leadership and quality. The district administration acknowledges the high number of employees per assistant principal and states that measures are underway, including recruiting more assistant principals and reviewing preschool areas, to ensure present leadership. While they believe the new organisation generally offers good support, adjustments to the management structure are ongoing.

Emelie Wassermann (SD) submitted an inquiry regarding how the Enskede-Årsta-Vantör district administration handles severance pay for employees suspected of inappropriate or criminal behavior. The administration responded that they make careful assessments before offering severance and that their current disciplinary processes are fit for purpose, proposing that the district council approve their statement as a reply.

A citizen proposed a splash pool in Rågsved and a bike pump in Högdalen/Rågsved. The district administration confirmed a splash pool is already planned for southern Rågsved as part of a zoning project. The request for a bike pump has been forwarded to the traffic office, which manages the city's bike pumps, with Högdalen and Bandhagen suggested as potential locations.
