Faster Social Services Without Individual Assessments

The City of Stockholm proposes that three committees – the Labor Market Committee, the Social Welfare Committee, and the Committee for the Elderly – be authorized to decide on social services provided to residents without individual needs assessments, aiming to streamline the implementation of the new Social Services Act until 2028. These city-wide decisions will allow district administrations to provide input, which is expected to expedite the process and enhance access to social services.
