Care and treatment of various diseases and patient groups

The plan points out that psychological distress increases particularly among young people without care being expanded, and demands that one gets help quickly whether one has broken a leg or become burned out. It also demands equitable and accessible healthcare regardless of where in the country one lives, which carries the counter-proposal's demand for equitable cancer care. The demand for better knowledge about sepsis follows from healthcare being comprehensive and evidence-based.

• quick help for psychological distressdecisive»Du ska ha rätt till hjälp snabbt oavsett om du har brutit benet eller blivit utbränd.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“You have the right to help quickly whether you have broken a leg or become burned out.”
• equitable healthcare across the country»Sjukvården måste vara jämlik, jämställd och tillgänglig, oavsett var i landet du bor och oavsett vem du är.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Healthcare must be equitable, equal and accessible, regardless of where in the country you live and regardless of who you are.”
• expanded care for young people»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 psychological distress increases particularly among women and young people without this leading to expanded care or changed work environment.”
• comprehensive and evidence-based healthcare»Sjukvården ska vara heltäckande, bygga på evidens och prioriteras utifrån behov.« (party programme ↗)“Healthcare shall be comprehensive, evidence-based and prioritized by need.”

The party programme explicitly requires ambitious measures against mental illness especially among children and young people, which is the counter-proposal's main requirement for shorter waiting times to child and adolescent psychiatry. The requirement for more equitable cancer care throughout the country corresponds to the plan's commitment to increased state responsibility for national equivalence and equitable public health. The election manifesto furthermore establishes that no one should have to worry about receiving timely care.

• measures against mental illnessdecisive»Ambitiösa insatser mot psykisk ohälsa, särskilt bland barn och unga.« (party programme ↗)“Ambitious measures against mental illness, especially among children and young people.”
• state responsibility for equivalent care»Ökat statligt ansvar och kontroll över sjukvården för nationell likvärdighet.« (party programme ↗)“Increased state responsibility and control over healthcare for national equivalence.”

The plan explicitly requires increased access to mental health care and shorter waiting times for treatment throughout the country, and the party programme wants mental health to be prioritized as highly as physical health with particular focus on children and young people. The requirements for shorter waiting times for child and youth psychiatry and more equitable cancer care directly address these commitments.

• increased access to psychiatric caredecisive»satsa på primärvården och öka tillgången till vård för psykisk ohälsa.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“invest in primary care and increase access to mental health care.”
• mental health prioritized equally»Miljöpartiet vill skapa ett samhälle där psykisk hälsa är lika prioriterad som fysisk hälsa.« (party programme ↗)“The Green Party wants to create a society where mental health is prioritized as highly as physical health.”

The election manifesto explicitly says that queues for child and youth psychiatry (BUP) must be worked away and that support for mental ill-health shall be improved, not least for young people. It also promises a national research programme on women's diseases and that queues are shortened and equality is strengthened across the country. The counter-proposal's demands for shorter BUP queues, equal cancer care focusing on gynaecological cancer and better knowledge about sepsis respond directly to these commitments.

• shorten BUP queuesdecisive»Stödet för personer med psykisk ohälsa måste förbättras, inte minst för unga. Den som söker hjälp ska ha en enkel och samlad väg in till vården. Köerna till BUP måste arbetas bort.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Support for people with mental ill-health must be improved, not least for young people. Those seeking help should have an easy and coordinated path into care. Queues for child and youth psychiatry (BUP) must be worked away.”
• research on women's diseases»Vi vill inrätta ett nationellt forskningsprogram om kvinnosjukdomar och stärka den genusmedicinska kompetensen i hela vårdkedjan.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to establish a national research programme on women's diseases and strengthen gender medicine expertise across the whole care chain.”
• equal care across the country»Så kortar vi köerna och stärker likvärdigheten i hela landet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“This is how we shorten queues and strengthen equality across the whole country.”

The plan requires a national mobilisation for shorter waiting times and establishes that care shall be equitable regardless of place of residence and that mental health shall be treated as self-evidently as physical illness. The counter-proposal's requirement for shorter queues to child and youth psychiatry and for more equitable cancer care throughout the country follow directly from these commitments. The sepsis part is not specifically addressed but falls within the requirement for knowledge-based care.

• shorter care queuesdecisive»Vi vill därför nästa mandatperiod se en nationell kraftsamling för fler bemannade vårdplatser i hela landet så att du som patient kan få vård snabbare.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We therefore want to see next term a national mobilisation for more staffed care beds throughout the country so that you as a patient can receive care faster.”
• mental care equated»Rätten till vård och behandling är lika självklar för både fysiska och psykiska sjukdomar.« (party programme ↗)“The right to care and treatment is equally self-evident for both physical and mental illnesses.”
• equitable care throughout the country»Vården ska vara jämlik.« (party programme ↗)“Care shall be equitable.”
• children's needs in care»Barns och ungas särskilda behov ska beaktas i all hälso- och sjukvård.« (party programme ↗)“Children's and young people's special needs shall be considered in all health and medical care.”

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 places special emphasis on quick and accessible expertise for children and young people with mental illness, and the election manifesto promises a significantly strengthened school health service with integrated children and youth health care. The election manifesto's overarching health care promise is also that one's place of residence shall not determine what care one receives, which carries the requirement for equitable cancer care. The counter-proposal's requirement thus lies within the plan's own commitments.

• quick care for mental illnessdecisive»snabb och tillgänglig kompetens för barn och ungdom med psykisk ohälsa.« (party programme ↗)“quick and accessible expertise for children and young people with mental illness.”
• strengthened children and youth health care»Kraftigt stärkt elevhälsa med en sammanhållen barn- och ungdomshälsovård och föräldrastödsprogram som erbjuds alla föräldrar.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Significantly strengthened school health service with an integrated children and youth health care and parental support programs offered to all parents.”
• care independent of place of residence»Var i landet du bor ska inte avgöra vilken sjukvård du får.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Where in the country you live shall not determine what health care you receive.”
• equitable care»Vården ska vara jämlik och tillgänglig för hela befolkningen.« (party programme ↗)“Care shall be equitable and accessible to the entire population.”

The plan explicitly points out the queues within child and adolescent psychiatry and cancer care as the two areas to receive targeted, performance-based resources. The counter-proposal's demands for shorter child and adolescent psychiatry queues and for more equal cancer care throughout the country are therefore exactly what the plan promises. The plan moreover wants to strengthen research on diseases affecting women, which supports the demand for focus on gynaecological cancer.

• targeted resources for cancer care and child and adolescent psychiatrydecisive»Utöka kömiljarden genom att rikta särskilda prestationsbaserade resurser till köerna inom cancervården respektive barn- och ungdomspsykiatrin (BUP)« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Expand the queue allocation by directing special performance-based resources to queues within cancer care respectively child and adolescent psychiatry (child and adolescent psychiatry)”
• strengthened child and adolescent psychiatry»Stärka barn- och ungdomspsykiatrin så att barn och unga som mår dåligt får hjälp snabbt« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Strengthen child and adolescent psychiatry so that children and young people who are struggling receive help quickly”
• prioritized cancer care»Prioritera cancervården och fördubbla stödet till barncancervården, som ska ges särskilt riktade resurser varje år« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Prioritize cancer care and double the support to child cancer care, which shall be given specially targeted resources every year”
• women's diseases prioritized»Stärka forskningen gällande sjukdomar som drabbar kvinnor« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Strengthen research regarding diseases affecting women”

The plan explicitly points to long queues at child psychiatry as a problem to be countered and demands strengthened resources to psychiatry as well as abolished healthcare queues through a proper healthcare guarantee. It also requires that care be good and accessible throughout the country, which supports the counter-proposal's demand for more equitable cancer care. The counter-proposal's demand thereby aligns with the plan's commitments in the healthcare field.

• shorter queues at child psychiatrydecisive»Långa köer till BUP kan motverkas om behandlingskompetens i högsta utsträckning kan finnas tillgänglig på plats i våra skolor.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Long queues at child psychiatry can be countered if treatment competence to the greatest extent can be available on site in our schools.”
• strengthened psychiatry»Stärka resurserna till psykiatrin« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Strengthen resources to psychiatry”
• abolished healthcare queues»Avskaffa vårdköerna och införa en riktig vårdgaranti« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Abolish healthcare queues and introduce a proper healthcare guarantee”
• equitable care across the country»En viktig uppgift är att säkerställa att det finns akut- och förlossningsvård över hela landet, även i glest befolkade regioner samt att införa ett gemensamt nationellt patientjournalsystem.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“An important task is to ensure that there is emergency and maternity care throughout the country, including in sparsely populated regions, and to introduce a common national patient record system.”
