Better Elder Care for LGBTQI+ Seniors

Council members Jan Jönsson and Anne-Lie Elfvén (L) proposed that the City of Stockholm investigate the situation of elderly LGBTQI+ individuals in elder care, demand LGBTQI+ competence in elder care procurements, and ensure continuous staff training on LGBTQI+ issues and respectful encounters, as elderly LGBTQI+ individuals currently fear ignorance and discrimination. The City Executive Board responded that the city already addresses these matters through an action plan for LGBTQI+ equal rights and opportunities, alongside continuous training and follow-ups in elder care.
