Stockholm's Plan for Doubling Elder Care Needs

Nike Örbrink (KD) questioned Elder and Culture Commissioner Torun Boucher (V) on how Stockholm plans to address the projected doubling of elderly care needs by 2040, specifically criticizing limitations on private builders and rising municipal debt. Boucher responded that the city will construct new care homes itself to ensure long-term control and quality, arguing that past privatizations increased costs and affirming the city will continue strategic property divestments but not sell off welfare infrastructure like elder care.
