The plan establishes that privatizations of welfare open the door for criminals to line their pockets with tax funds and fundamentally wants to get rid of profit-driven actors in welfare. An explicit requirement for new approval on ownership change is a direct way to prevent HVB homes from being bought and sold without suitability testing. It also aligns with the plan's requirement for greater public scrutiny of companies where needed to combat fraud.

The plan demands public oversight of establishments and activities in welfare and that systems leading to lack of control, leakage of tax funds or crime be abolished. The election manifesto wants to stop welfare crime and prevent users being exploited for criminal purposes. A legal requirement for new suitability review when the owner of a residential care home changes follows from these commitments and is therefore supported.

The plan states that children placed in society's care do not always receive the care they need and requires that work against criminal economy is strengthened. An explicit requirement for new licence review at change of ownership prevents criminal actors from buying and selling HVB homes without suitability review. The counter-proposal's requirements thus lie in line with the plan, even though the plan does not regulate the licensing system.

The plan wants to tighten supervision of operations and their owners and set high quality requirements for continued operation, and it establishes that society shall not give way to gangs. That a new owner must undergo a new suitability assessment to run an HVB home is precisely such an owner assessment, aimed at preventing criminal actors from buying into welfare. The plan does not mention HVB specifically, so the conclusion is inferred.

• tightened owner and quality assessmentdecisive»Vi vill bland annat se höga kvalitetskrav för fortsatt verksamhet och vinstutdelning, och vi vill skärpa tillsynen av skolor och deras ägare.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to see among other things high quality requirements for continued operation and profit distribution, and we want to tighten supervision of schools and their owners.”

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 welfare sector operations require serious owners who take long-term owner responsibility and that those who fail seriously shall not be granted permission. The counter-proposal's requirement that a new owner must apply for new permission to operate HVB (home-based care) activities is precisely a way to test the owner's suitability in ownership changes. The plan furthermore wants to stop short-term actors in tax-financed activities and for supervision to be conducted under state administration.

• requirement for long-term owner responsibilitydecisive»Vinstdrivande företag ska kunna verka i välfärdssektorn så länge kvalitetskraven uppfylls och« (party programme ↗)“Profit-driven companies shall be able to operate in the welfare sector as long as quality requirements are met and”

The plan states that children have the right to a safe living environment and that all crimes shall be prosecuted effectively and without exception. That criminal actors can buy and sell HVB homes without new suitability testing is incompatible with this and with the plan's demands for quality control and follow-up in welfare activities. The counter-proposal's demand for an explicit legal requirement for new approval on change of ownership is therefore supported by the plan.

The plan wants to stop tax money and welfare activities ending up with criminals and extremists, and is prepared to withdraw approval from providers who do not meet the requirements. An explicit demand for new approval and thereby new suitability review upon change of ownership in residential care activities is precisely such a protection against criminal infiltration. The plan therefore gives support to the counter-proposal's demand.

The plan wants to counter both fraud and such systems that invite fraud and corruption, increase sentences for welfare fraud and break the clans' and organized crime's grip on publicly financed activity. A requirement for new suitability assessment when ownership changes in group home operations closes precisely that loophole that enables criminal actors to take over operations. The counter-proposal is therefore in line with the plan.
