Care and treatment of various diseases and patient groups
Care and treatment for various diseases and patient groups
What's at stake: The decision affects, among others, children and young people with mental health problems who wait too long for help, women with gynecological cancer who face large regional differences in care, and people at risk of dying from sepsis without it being detected in time.

What the vote decides
The question is whether the Riksdag should direct demands at the government for measures targeting specific diseases and patient groups - including child and adolescent mental health, equal cancer care and knowledge about sepsis - or whether such trade-offs should continue to be made by the regional healthcare principals within the framework of the ethical platform.
Yes Yes — the committee proposal
The committee rejects the motions. It holds to the principle of not backing proposals to fund individual diseases or organize care for particular patient groups in a specific way, since such assessments are primarily the responsibility of the regional healthcare principals, supported by the ethical platform and existing prioritization tools.
No No — the reservations
Reservation 2 (V)
The reservation calls on the government to bring forward proposals that increase access to mental-health care for children and young people, including by shortening queues to child and adolescent psychiatry, arguing that better early help can also reduce crime among young people with neuropsychiatric diagnoses. It further calls for an authority to be tasked with developing proposals for more equal cancer care nationwide, with particular focus on gynecological cancer where regional differences are large. Finally, it calls for improved knowledge about sepsis, arguing that the number of deaths is likely significantly underestimated in official statistics.

Riksdag decision: The Riksdag said no to 172 proposals in motions from the general motion period 2025. The proposals concern priorities in health and medical care and other medical-ethical issues.
The Riksdag holds that it is the responsibility of healthcare authorities to assess the need for initiatives on individual diseases and how care for patients with these diseases shall be organized. Furthermore, the Riksdag refers to ongoing work and earlier parliamentary considerations.
Counter-proposals
The counter-proposal wants the government to return with proposals for increased accessibility to mental health care for children and youth. (V) — Reservation 2
