Faster decisions for social, elder, and disability care.

The Hässelby-Vällingby City District Council has adopted a new delegation of authority to streamline decision-making within its administration. This empowers certain officials to make decisions on behalf of the council, particularly in social services, elder care, and disability services, with several changes driven by new laws like the revised Social Services Act coming into force in July 2025. For example, team leaders can now decide to end follow-ups for children and young people, and certain decision limits for home care have been adjusted.
