Elderly Care Funding Cuts and Worker Concerns

The Södermalm district administration discussed sick leave and work environment issues, noting low sick leave rates but union concerns about referring cases to occupational health services. A significant portion of the meeting focused on elderly care, revealing a surplus of 52 million SEK for 2025, yet 164 million SEK was reallocated away from elderly care before 2026. Unions criticized this reallocation, demanding increased investment in elderly care, including more staff and higher salaries.
