National preparedness hospitals

The plan requires that resources to healthcare increase precisely to strengthen preparedness for crises, disasters and war, and that the entire healthcare sector is upgraded so that capacity can be scaled up in crises. That designated and established national preparedness hospitals with protected planning and staffing is a concrete expression of this, and the requirement for strategic placement responds to the plan's commitment to equal care regardless of where in the country you live. The counter-proposal's requirements are thus supported by the plan.

The election manifesto requires that civil defence is strengthened, among other things with increased resources to stock emergency supplies for the healthcare service, and that no acute hospitals are sold off. The party programme wants to see strong infrastructure for strengthened preparedness and good service regardless of where in the country you live. Identifying and establishing national emergency hospitals, coordinated on both civil and military levels and also in rural areas, follows from this. The counter-proposal is supported.

The plan states that healthcare must become more resilient to among other things security threats and that civil defence should be strengthened with increased allocations to crisis preparedness. Identifying and establishing national emergency hospitals, strategically located based on civilian and military needs, is a concrete application of this. The plan also requires good healthcare regardless of where in the country you live, which supports the rural perspective in the counter-proposal.

The plan requires that civil defence and society's preparedness be equipped for war and crisis and that the total defence is strengthened, while at the same time secure and close healthcare shall exist regardless of where one lives. National emergency hospitals placed based on civil and military needs, not least in sparsely populated areas, are an application of those commitments. The plan's requirement that healthcare responsibility remains with the regions argues partly against it, which is why certainty is low.

Healthcare responsibility shall not be transferred from the regions to the state.”

The plan requires that the state takes greater responsibility for healthcare's strategic planning, placement of highly specialized care and preparedness, and that civil defence is strengthened at the same pace as military defence. The counter-proposal's demand to define and establish national preparedness hospitals based on civil and military needs is a direct application of this. The plan also wants to see a national joint effort for more staffed care beds throughout the country.

• state responsibility for healthcare preparednessdecisive»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 provision.”

The election manifesto requires state leadership with a unified organisation for healthcare instead of 21 different, a national care coordination service that matches care needs against capacity across the country, and more care beds. It is precisely a nationally designated and unified care structure that the counter-proposal requests for preparedness. The party programme also requires that total defence has sufficient resources to protect the population against both civil disasters and military threats.

• state leadership for 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 one unified organisation instead of 21 different.”

The plan states that the military defence cannot fulfil its tasks if civil defence does not function, and it wants to ensure long-term planning of civil defence and to build up emergency stockpiles of medicines and medical material. To identify and establish national emergency hospitals based on civilian and military needs aligns with that direction. The plan therefore supports the counter-proposal's demand.

• civil defence bears total defencedecisive»Fungerar inte det civila försvaret så kan inte heller det militära försvaret lösa sina uppgifter.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“If civil defence does not function then neither can military defence fulfil its tasks.”

The plan requires a restored total defense, planning for various types of major crises and that self-sufficiency in medical material can be scaled up during prolonged disruptions. It also states that emergency care should exist throughout the country, even in sparsely populated regions. The counter-proposal's requirement for defined national emergency hospitals placed according to civilian and military needs follows from these commitments.
