Mental health care needs

The plan requires that you have the right to help quickly regardless of whether you have broken your leg or burned out, which means that physical and mental healthcare needs must be clarified throughout healthcare, not just in primary care. The requirement for in-depth economic impact analysis and financing responds to the plan's commitment that redistribution from state to region and municipality must increase in view of those who cannot make their economy work.

• increased state funding»Omfördelningen från stat till region och kommun måste öka och särskild hänsyn ska tas till de många kommuner och regioner som idag inte får ihop sin ekonomi samtidigt som de redan har bland landets högsta skatter totalt sett.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Redistribution from state to region and municipality must increase and special attention shall be paid to the many municipalities and regions that today cannot make their economy work while at the same time already having among the highest total taxes in the country.”
• mental ill-health increasing»Stressrelaterade sjukdomar blir allt vanligare och psykisk ohälsa ökar särskilt bland kvinnor och hos unga utan att det leder till utbyggd vård eller förändrad arbetsmiljö.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Stress-related illnesses are becoming more common and mental ill-health is increasing especially among women and young people without leading to expanded care or changed working conditions.”
• care according to need»evidens och prioriteras utifrån behov.« (party programme ↗)“evidence and prioritised based on need.”

The party programme demands ambitious efforts against mental illness and equal rights for all to good healthcare through state provision. That clarifying mental health care needs is limited to primary care sits poorly with that commitment, and the requirement for analysis and financing responds to the election manifesto's promise of increased state grants to municipalities and regions. The plan therefore supports the counter-proposal.

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 plan establishes that mental health shall be equally prioritized as physical health throughout society, not just in part of health care. That the clarification of physical and mental care needs encompasses the entire health care system is exactly the equality the plan requires. To also analyze the economic consequences for pressured municipalities and regions aligns with the plan's requirement that care is given sufficient resources.

The election manifesto states that psychiatry must be improved for both young and older people and that support for mental ill-health must be strengthened, without limiting this to primary care. That the clarification of physical and mental care needs encompasses the entire health and medical service follows from that commitment. The requirement for analysis of the economic consequences responds to the plan's promise of better state support to the regions adapted to their conditions.

The party programme establishes that the right to care and treatment is equally self-evident for both physical and mental illnesses, without limiting it to primary care. This supports the counter-proposal's demand that clarification shall encompass all healthcare. The plan also requires that all treatment of mental ill-health be covered by the patient safety act and that mental health is an explicitly stated public health goal.

The plan's core commitment is that care shall be based on a holistic view of the human that encompasses both physical and psychological needs, which applies to care as a whole and not just primary care. Mental ill-health is described as widespread and psychiatric care shall be accessible based on the patient's needs. The requirement for a deepened analysis of the costs for municipalities and regions has support in the plan's demand that the financing principle be respected. The plan therefore supports the counter-proposal.

• holistic view throughout caredecisive»att man inom vården ska ha en helhetssyn på människan som tar hänsyn till kroppsliga« (party programme ↗)“that care shall have a holistic view of the human that takes into account physical”

The plan highlights mental health as one of the most important priorities and wants to strengthen psychiatry so that those who are unwell receive help quickly, with the requirement that care be equitable. Clarifying that mental health care needs should be met throughout health and medical care, not just in primary care, is in line with this. The counter-proposal's demand for an in-depth economic impact analysis and if necessary financing also aligns with the plan's requirement that reforms be financed.

• prioritize mental healthdecisive»Få saker är viktigare att prioritera än barns psykiska mående.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Few things are more important to prioritize than children's mental wellbeing.”

• reforms must be financed»Alla nya löften och reformer – som till exempel våra inkomstskattesänkningar – behöver finansieras eller rymmas inom överskottsmålet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“All new promises and reforms – such as our income tax cuts – need to be financed or fit within the surplus target.”

The plan establishes that mental ill health is our era's greatest public health challenge, that treatment resources should not be limited only to child and adolescent psychiatry and that the entire health and care system needs to be reviewed to catch affected patients earlier. Clarifying responsibility for mental healthcare needs across the whole service, not just primary care, follows directly from this. The plan also wants to strengthen psychiatric resources, which speaks for the requirement for an economic impact analysis.
