Agenda items
The Kungsholmen District Council is presenting its patient safety work for 2025 within healthcare in the district. The report details efforts to identify and reduce care risks, including regular meetings, staff training, collaboration with Region Stockholm, and the implementation of digital tools for medication management, all aiming to ensure safe and person-centered care for elderly residents at facilities like Alströmerhemmet and S:t Erik.
The Kungsholmen District Council is reviewing operational plans for 2026 for preschools, social services, and elder care. These plans outline goals for how these units will work with areas like child development, senior well-being, and social service interventions, aiming to ensure high quality and best meet resident needs.
Kungsholmen District Administration reports on its 2025 activities, particularly in preschools, social services, and elder care. Within social services, Kungsholmen has the highest proportion of satisfied clients in the city but is working to improve information regarding freedom of choice for residential support. They also continue to focus on supporting individuals with disabilities and mental health issues, partly through the community meeting point and new collaboration routines.
The Kungsholmen District Council considered an application for a serving permit for Ukiyo by Tezukuri at Norr Mälarstrand 32A. The administration believes there's no risk of social problems if the restaurant is allowed to serve wine, strong beer, and other fermented alcoholic beverages daily between 11:00 and 22:00. They therefore recommend approving the application, deferring the noise issue to the environmental administration.
The City of Stockholm is implementing a common functional program for preschool facilities to ensure all new and renovated preschools meet high standards for functional, safe, and secure indoor and outdoor environments. This aims to create equitable and efficient preschools that support children's learning and staff's work environment, while also contributing to the city's environmental and climate goals.
The Kungsholmen District Council has reviewed the City of Stockholm's proposed new action plan for children's rights until 2030. While the council is generally positive about the plan's aim to secure children's rights, combat discrimination, and promote equal living conditions, they request clarifications and reinforcements. Specifically, they want more detail on how children's participation and influence will be ensured, how their views will be collected, and how the city will provide feedback to them.
Two politicians questioned why the Kungsholmen district board considered removing the designated areas for jet skis at Hornsberg, which were established for safety. The administration explained they initially thought of removal due to new regulations reducing issues, but decided to keep them after consulting residents and police. A deeper analysis is now planned for the area's development, including improving bathing safety.
The Centre Party on Kungsholmen inquired about the number of long-term sick-listed employees within the district administration who returned to work in 2024/2025. Approximately 20% have returned after rehabilitation, with a similar number ending their employment. The administration estimates that only about 3% of long-term sick-listed employees in 2025 engaged in work training at their own workplace, though exact figures for those via the Social Insurance Agency and Employment Service are unavailable.
The Kungsholmen District Council has decided to authorize specific politicians and officials to make swift decisions concerning compulsory care for young people and substance abusers, as well as placing children in protective housing. This aims to allow for prompt action in urgent cases when the full council cannot convene. These decisions include immediately taking children or young people into custody, determining where and how care should begin, and requesting police assistance if necessary.
The Kungsholmen District Council needs to elect new members to its social delegation. This is because a member and the chair have resigned, and a substitute member wishes to become a full member. The social delegation makes decisions on individual cases, primarily under the Social Services Act, which cannot be delegated to civil servants.
The Kungsholmen District Council has established a new delegation order, which simplifies administrative work by deciding which employees can make decisions on behalf of the council. These changes, adapted for new laws and reorganizations, affect areas like finance, preschool operations, social services, elder care, and personal data management.
The District Council plans to renovate the 90-meter park section on Ola Hanssonsgatan in Kristineberg during spring 2026. The renovation, estimated to cost between 2.5 and 2.8 million SEK, will include new trees, bushes, and flower meadows to increase biodiversity. Additionally, bicycle parking will be better organized and new seating created to make the park more pleasant to visit.
The Kungsholmen District Council plans to renovate Disponentparken on Lilla Essingen, starting in autumn 2026, at a cost of 3.7 million SEK. The park will feature a dedicated play area for younger children and an open section for socializing and relaxation, incorporating more durable plants and improved accessibility. The administration received extensive feedback from public dialogue, which served as the basis for the renewal.
The Kungsholmen District Council is to decide whether to extend the operating agreement for Solbacken care home with the private company Vardaga Silverhemmen AB until January 2030. Vardaga has operated the 64-bed dementia care home since 2021, and the administration recommends an extension. This is because the service is deemed to meet requirements, and an extension would provide the most stability and least disruption for residents and staff.
The Kungsholmen District Council reports on unexecuted decisions made under the Social Services Act (SoL) and LSS within three months during the fourth quarter of 2025. This includes six decisions concerning functional impairments and 22 within elderly care. Many of these cases involve individuals declining offered housing or services, but a lack of available places or difficulties in recruiting staff are also cited.
The Kungsholmen District Council is to approve a plan for special housing for individuals with disabilities and social psychiatric needs for 2026-2036. The Inner City Region (Kungsholmen, Norra Innerstaden, and Södermalm) has identified a need for more group homes with standard accessibility and spacious, detached group homes, despite the challenges of building these in the inner city. The goal is to meet growing demand and reduce placements outside the standard system.
The Kungsholmen District Council is proposed to approve the allocation of association grants for 2026. A total of SEK 800,000 will be distributed to 17 local associations and non-profit organizations, aiming to boost community engagement and local activities for Kungsholmen residents, including senior activities, youth sports, and cultural events.
The Kungsholmen District Council is set to approve the February 2026 monthly report, which includes an economic forecast for the year. The administration is projected to have a surplus of 1.5 million SEK, with elder care and other operations contributing to this surplus, while labor market measures and financial assistance are expected to show deficits.
Stockholm City Council is set to decide on implementing an alcohol ban along parts of Fleminggatan and Sankt Eriksgatan in Kungsholmen. This measure aims to increase safety and reduce issues like littering, vandalism, and threatening situations, as the area has been designated an open drug scene since 2017. The proposal, from the Kungsholmen District Council and supported by the City Executive Office, seeks to complement existing crime prevention efforts.
