Improving Elder Care for LGBTQI+ Seniors

Liberals proposed that Stockholm City investigate the living conditions of elderly LGBTQI+ individuals in elder care, require LGBTQI+ competence in elder care procurements, and provide staff training on LGBTQI+ issues, citing this group's vulnerability. The red-green majority on the City Executive Board responded that the city already addresses these matters through an LGBTQI+ rights action plan and ongoing staff training, believing that equitable elder care is built through long-term human rights work rather than temporary investigations. The Liberals reserved their position, arguing that more could and should be done to strengthen LGBTQI+ competence.
