Competence supply

The plan explicitly states that the state must take greater responsibility for creating equal conditions in healthcare and that the state has overall responsibility for ensuring there is trained profession throughout the country. The counter-proposal's demands for expanded state responsibility and national coordination and sizing of healthcare education are precisely that commitment. The plan furthermore demands investments in staff to eliminate the staff shortage.

The plan explicitly places responsibility for the supply of skills in welfare on the state and wants increased state responsibility and control over healthcare for national equality. It also wants education supply to be better managed according to needs. The counter-proposal's requirement that the state ensures national coordination and dimensioning of healthcare education is thus what the plan requests.

• state responsibility for skills supplydecisive»Staten har ett ansvar för att säkra kompetensförsörjningen, inte minst i välfärden.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The state has a responsibility to secure the supply of skills, not least in welfare.”
• national equality in healthcare»Ökat statligt ansvar och kontroll över sjukvården för nationell likvärdighet.« (party programme ↗)“Increased state responsibility and control over healthcare for national equality.”

The plan's overarching commitment is that care shall be provided on equal terms across the country and that health gaps must not depend on where you live. It also requires that care staff receive proper resources and that higher education be available throughout the country, not just in major cities. Expanded state responsibility for national coordination and dimensioning of care education is a means for precisely this, which is why the plan supports the counter-proposal's requirement.

• equitable care across the countrydecisive»Du ska ha rätt till en bra vård, oavsett var i landet du bor.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“You shall have the right to good care, regardless of where in the country you live.”
• reduced health gaps»hälsoklyftorna minskar så att livslängd, psykisk hälsa och trygg vård« (party programme ↗)“health gaps are reduced so that life expectancy, mental health and secure care”
• education across the country»Högre utbildning ska vara tillgänglig över hela landet.« (party programme ↗)“Higher education shall be available across the whole country.”
• strengthened care workforce»höja lönerna och säkra en god arbetsmiljö i vården.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“raise wages and ensure a good working environment in 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 requires that the education system to a significantly greater extent be based on the labour market's needs and include national tools such as examination bonuses and salary during specialist studies to recruit healthcare personnel. It also promises better government support to regions so that care becomes equal throughout the country. The counter-proposal's demand for national coordination and sizing of healthcare education follows from this, even though the plan wants the responsibility for care to remain with the regions.

• education based on labour market needsdecisive»Utbildningssystemet behöver i betydligt större utsträckning utgå från arbetsmarknadens behov.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The education system needs to be based to a significantly greater extent on the labour market's needs.”
• national tools for healthcare recruitment»Att anställa fler sjuksköterskor leder till mindre stress på jobbet och bättre resultat för patienten. Vi vill rekrytera fler sjuksköterskor genom att införa en examenspremie och ge lön under specialiststudietiden.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Employing more nurses leads to less stress at work and better results for patients. We want to recruit more nurses by introducing an examination bonus and providing salary during specialist studies.”
• government support to regions»Vi vill skapa fler vårdplatser där det behövs med hjälp av en platsmiljard och bättre stöd till regionerna.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to create more care places where needed with the help of a bed billion and better support to regions.”
• regional responsibility protected»Vi vill försvara valfriheten inom vård och omsorg och bedriva verksamheten nära vårdtagarna. Ansvaret för vården ska inte flyttas från regionerna till staten.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to defend freedom of choice within care and health services and conduct activities close to care recipients. Responsibility for care must not be moved from the regions to the state.”

The election manifesto explicitly states that the state shall take greater responsibility for healthcare's strategic planning and long-term competence supply, which is exactly what the counter-proposal requires regarding national coordination and dimensioning of healthcare education. The plan also wants to see a national mobilization for more staffed care places throughout the country. The fact that healthcare shall maintain equal quality regardless of place of residence strengthens the conclusion.

• state responsibility for competence supplydecisive»Staten ska ta ett större ansvar för sjukvårdens strategiska planering, placering av högspecialiserad vård, beredskap och långsiktig kompetensförsörjning.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The state shall take greater responsibility for healthcare's strategic planning, placement of highly specialized care, preparedness and long-term competence supply.”

The plan's most binding healthcare commitment is that the state shall take over responsibility for care with a joint organization instead of 21 different ones, precisely so that place of residence does not determine care. The counter-proposal's requirements for extended state responsibility and national coordination and sizing of healthcare education is the same line applied to competence provision. The plan also explicitly requires that more staff are trained for healthcare.

• state-controlled healthcaredecisive»Avskaffa regionernas ansvar för sjukvården. Låt staten ta över ansvaret för vården med en gemensam organisation i stället för 21 olika.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Abolish the regions' responsibility for healthcare. Let the state take over responsibility for care with a joint organization instead of 21 different ones.”

Förbättrade villkor i vårdens bristyrken och minska behovet av dyr inhyrd personal.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Train more staff for healthcare. Improved conditions in healthcare shortage occupations and reduce the need for expensive hired staff.”
• national matching of care resources»Inför en nationell vårdförmedling som matchar vårdbehovet med den vårdkapacitet som finns i hela landet – och inte bara i regionen där personen bor.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Introduce a national care allocation service that matches care needs with the care capacity that exists throughout the country - and not just in the region where the person lives.”

The election manifesto explicitly promises national coordination over society's need for the number of education places to improve competence supply. That is precisely what the counter-proposal requires for nursing education. The plan complements this with requirements for equivalent care regardless of where in the country one lives and with national measures on healthcare resources.

• national coordination of education placesdecisive»Få på plats en nationell samordning över samhällets behov av antalet utbildningsplatser för att förbättra kompetensförsörjningen« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Get in place a national coordination over society's need for the number of education places to improve competence supply”

• more hands in healthcare»Stärka vårdens medarbetare, bland annat genom att förbättra arbetsmiljön och möjligheterna till vidareutbildning« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Strengthen healthcare workers, including by improving the working environment and opportunities for further education”

The plan directly points out that governance through 21 regions creates shortages in competence supply and wants to review how the state can to a greater extent take over main responsibility for healthcare. It also requires even and good care throughout the country without regional imbalances and education according to actual needs. The counter-proposal's demand for expanded state responsibility and national coordination and dimensioning of healthcare education therefore follows directly from the plan.

• regional fragmentation causes competence shortagedecisive»Huvudproblemet handlar i betydande utsträckning om att styrningen via 21 olika regioner skapar otydlighet, målkonflikter, successivt ökande administration och brister i kompetensförsörjningen.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The main problem is to a significant extent that governance through 21 different regions creates unclear objectives, goal conflicts, gradually increasing administration and shortages in competence supply.”
• state stewardship of healthcare»Sverigedemokraterna vill också se över hur staten i större utsträckning kan ta över huvudansvaret för sjukvården, med utgångspunkt i framgångsrika exempel i Norge och Danmark.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Sweden Democrats also want to review how the state can to a greater extent take over main responsibility for healthcare, based on successful examples in Norway and Denmark.”
• equitable care throughout 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 acute and obstetric care throughout the country, even in sparsely populated regions and to introduce a common national patient record system.”
• needs-based education dimensioning»Utbilda efter de behov som finns på arbetsmarknaden« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Educate according to the needs that exist in the labour market”
