Certain matters regarding governance of and oversight over pharmaceutical prescriptions

The plan wants the state to own pharmacies and build up its own medicine production and that costs for healthcare and medicines shall be affordable for all. A new inquiry into the state grant for medicine benefits and how medicines are provided to patients, healthcare providers and pharmacies aligns with that ambition. The plan also sees pharmacy privatization as a problem and wants to stop healthcare resources leaking away, which speaks for enhanced oversight and easier revoked workplace codes when the subsidy is misused.

• state-owned pharmaciesdecisive»Vi vill att staten äger apoteken och bygger upp en egen kapacitet« (party programme ↗)“We want the state to own pharmacies and build up its own capacity”
• affordable medicine costs»Kostnaderna för vård och läkemedel ska vara överkomliga för« (party programme ↗)“Costs for healthcare and medicines shall be affordable for”
• criticism of pharmacy privatization»Privatiseringar har lett till dyrare elpris, att apoteken flyttar från landsbygd till städer och från fattiga till rika områden« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Privatizations have led to higher electricity prices, pharmacies moving from rural areas to cities and from poor to rich areas”
• healthcare resources according to need»Det är inte acceptabelt att stora resurser, som behövs till människor med komplext eller långvarigt behov av vård istället går till nätläkartjänster för att behandla vanlig snuva och andra mindre åkommor hos friska människor.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“It is not acceptable that large resources, which are needed for people with complex or long-term care needs, instead go to online doctor services to treat common colds and other minor ailments in healthy people.”

The plan takes no explicit position on what the committee actually decided — often because the committee's reason was procedural. The stance is derived and fully cited, but it does not show the party broke a commitment.

The election manifesto promises that healthcare oversight shall be intensified and that fraud with joint funds shall be stopped. The counter-proposal's requirement for stricter control of pharmaceutical subsidies, more easily withdrawn workplace codes for abuse and a new review of state grants is in line with that commitment. The plan however says nothing about the preparation procedure in government.

• strengthened oversight of caredecisive»Tillsynen av sjukvården ska växlas upp för att garantera kvaliteten.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Oversight of healthcare shall be intensified to guarantee quality.”
• stop welfare crime»Skattefusk, välfärdsbrottslighet och penningtvätt ska stoppas.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Tax fraud, welfare crime and money laundering shall be stopped.”
• transparency in care and welfare»Offentlighetsprincipen ska gälla även privat vård och omsorg.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The principle of public access shall apply also to private care and welfare.”
• equal access to care»Skola, vård och omsorg har en central roll för fördelningen av möjligheter i livet.« (party programme ↗)“School, care and welfare have a central role in the distribution of life opportunities.”

The plan requires that all publicly funded activities are under supervision that can ultimately stop what does not meet standards, and that tax money is used for its intended purpose. It also sees pharmaceutical consumption as a patient safety problem. Reviewing the state subsidy and pharmaceutical supply and being able to more easily withdraw workplace codes for misused subsidies therefore follows from the plan's demands for control and quality. The procedure does not concern the plan.

• strong public oversightdecisive»All verksamhet ska vara underställd tillsyn av en offentlig myndighet som ytterst« (party programme ↗)“All activities shall be under the supervision of a public authority that ultimately”
• reduced pharmaceutical use»läkemedelskonsumtionen i dag är ett problem både« (party programme ↗)“pharmaceutical consumption today is a problem both”
• quality and properly used tax money»Det som är viktigt är kvaliteten på välfärden« (party programme ↗)“What is important is the quality of welfare”
• accessible care according to need»korta köerna till behandling i hela landet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“shorten queues for treatment across the country.”

The plan does not address the state grant for pharmaceutical benefits, but it demands that public funds be used sparingly and that control against misuse of public systems be strengthened. That work codes more easily can be withdrawn when pharmaceutical subsidies are misused, and that measures have a clear timeline, follows from that commitment. The conclusion is derived from the plan's principles of orderly use of taxpayers' money, not from an explicit commitment on pharmaceutical provision.

• prudent use of public fundsdecisive»Politiken ska hushålla med skattebetalarnas pengar.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Policy should make prudent use of taxpayers' money.”
• strengthened control against misuse»Sverige ska bli ännu mer transparent. Vi vill inrätta en antikorruptionsmyndighet, skärpa regler mot korruption och införa ett lobbyregister.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Sweden shall become even more transparent. We want to establish an anti-corruption agency, strengthen rules against corruption and introduce a lobby register.”
• reduced administration in healthcare»Den administrativa bördan inom vården måste minska, bland annat med hjälp av digitala verktyg som är användbara och efterfrågade av medarbetarna.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The administrative burden within healthcare must be reduced, partly through digital tools that are useful and sought after by staff.”

The plan requires state supervision based on nationally established quality standards and that those guilty of serious deficiencies lose their license in the welfare sector, which bears the requirement that workplace licenses more easily can be revoked when medicine benefits are misused. A new investigation of government grants for medicine benefits aligns with care being steered on a scientific basis. The plan however does not address medicine benefits, so the support is weak.

• state supervision with quality standardsdecisive»Tillsynen ska ske i statlig regi utifrån nationellt fastställda kvalitetsnormer.« (party programme ↗)“Supervision shall be conducted under state control based on nationally established quality standards.”
• sanction for serious deficiencies»skyldig till allvarliga brister ska inte ha tillstånd att bedriva verksamhet inom välfärdssektorn.« (party programme ↗)“guilty of serious deficiencies shall not have the right to conduct activities within the welfare sector.”

The party programme requires that care financed through social solidarity is fit for purpose, cost-effective and evidence-based, and that evaluation and cost monitoring are important political tasks. Abuse of drug subsidies and incorrect prescribing go against this and against the requirement that all regulatory violations are prosecuted. A new drug investigation and easier withdrawal of workplace codes thus align with the plan.

• cost-effective and evidence-based caredecisive»Den solidariskt finansierade hälso- och sjukvården ska vara ändamålsenlig och kostnadseffektiv, säker för patienterna och baserad på kunskap och beprövad erfarenhet, det vill säga evidensbaserad.« (party programme ↗)“Care financed through social solidarity must be fit for purpose and cost-effective, safe for patients and based on knowledge and proven experience, that is evidence-based.”
• monitoring and control»medborgarnas intresse. Utvärdering, kostnadsuppföljning och kvalitetskontroll är därför viktiga politiska« (party programme ↗)“citizens' interest. Evaluation, cost monitoring and quality control are therefore important political”
• abuse must be prosecuted»Alla brott ska effektivt och utan undantag beivras« (party programme ↗)“All crimes must be effectively and without exception prosecuted”
• care is prioritized»Vi prioriterar vården, för alla dem som lider i väntan på vård.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We prioritize care, for all those who suffer while waiting for care.”

The plan's strongest commitment in the area is to stop waste of tax money and fraud that every year drains welfare, and that agencies' processing should be pressurized with clear time limits. The counter-proposal's demand that workplace codes more easily should be revoked when medicine subsidy misuse occurs and for a clearer timetable for announced measures aligns with that line. However, medicine benefits' steering is not mentioned, so coverage is derived.

• stop wastedecisive»Statens utgifter ska minska – vi ska stoppa slöseriet med skattepengar« (2022 manifesto ↗)“State expenditure should decrease – we shall stop the waste of tax money”

• time limits for agencies»Korta myndigheternas handläggningstider genom en bortre tidsgräns« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Shorten agencies' processing times through an outer time limit”
• combat public waste»Offentligt slöseri i alla former ska bekämpas.« (party programme ↗)“Public waste in all forms shall be combated.”

The plan requires that fraud and systems that encourage fraud are countered and that welfare crime is stopped, which carries the requirement that workplace codes should be more easily revoked when pharmaceutical subsidy is abused. The plan's demand for clear results and time-bound commitments for public expenditures also supports a new inquiry with a clear timetable for the state grant. The plan therefore supports the demand in substance.

• counter fraud in the systemsdecisive»Både fusk och sådana system som tenderar att locka till fusk och korruption ska motverkas.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Both fraud and such systems that tend to encourage fraud and corruption shall be countered.”
