Hired personnel in healthcare

The plan identifies temporary staffing jobs as a source of insecurity in the labour market and wants there to be no profit-driven actors in healthcare and care services at all. The counter-proposal's requirement that healthcare should become independent of hired personnel and instead have its own permanent staffing is exactly the direction the plan indicates. The plan also wants to invest in staff to eliminate staff shortages.

The election manifesto wants welfare to come first with more full-time permanent positions and places a state responsibility for ensuring competence. The counter-proposal's requirement that care should become independent of hired personnel and instead have sustainable staffing with own employees is precisely that direction. Moreover, the plan opposes tax money going to corporate profits instead of care and personnel.

• full-time and permanent positions in welfaredecisive»Vi vill att välfärden ska gå före och att fler ska kunna arbeta heltid i fasta jobb.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want welfare to come first and that more shall be able to work full-time in permanent positions.”
• state responsibility for ensuring competence»Staten har ett ansvar för att säkra kompetensförsörjningen, inte minst i välfärden.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The state has a responsibility to secure the supply of competence, not least in welfare.”
• tax money to care, not profits»Skattepengar delas ut till riskkapitalbolagens aktieägare, istället för att användas till skolböcker, fler anställda och bättre vård och omsorg.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Tax money is distributed to venture capital companies' shareholders, instead of being used for textbooks, more employees and better care and services.”
• better working conditions in welfare»Arbetsvillkoren i välfärden måste spegla hur centrala jobben är för att samhället ska fungera.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Working conditions in welfare must reflect how central these jobs are for society to function.”

The party programme asserts that welfare activities shall not be handled like any market and that commercially oriented actors should be removed in favor of activity focused on quality. A dependence on staffing companies is precisely such market logic that drives costs. The counter-proposal's demands for stable in-house staffing are therefore supported by the plan, which also wants to raise salaries and secure the working environment so care can retain its personnel.

• welfare is not a marketdecisive»Välfärdens verksamheter får inte hanteras som vilken marknad som helst.« (party programme ↗)“Welfare activities shall not be handled like any market.”
• retain in-house care personnel»höja lönerna och säkra en god arbetsmiljö i vården« (2022 manifesto ↗)“raise salaries and secure a good working environment in care”

The plan's response to staffing problems in care is recruitment, competence development and better working conditions, not making care independent of private staffing companies. The party programme states a market economy free from command-economy directives and the election manifesto defends freedom of choice and many providers in care and nursing. The requirement to phase out hired staff in favour of only own employees therefore lacks support in the plan.

• freedom of choice in care and nursingdecisive»Vi vill försvara valfriheten inom vård och omsorg och bedriva verksamheten nära vårdtagarna.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to defend freedom of choice in care and nursing and conduct the activity close to those receiving care.”
• recruitment ahead of staffing stop»Vi vill rekrytera fler sjuksköterskor genom att införa en examenspremie och ge lön under specialiststudietiden.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to recruit more nurses by introducing an examination premium and providing salary during specialist studies.”
• many actors in care»Genom att uppmuntra många olika aktörer inom vården kan också vården utvecklas för att möta lokala och individuella behov.« (party programme ↗)“By encouraging many different actors within care, care can also be developed to meet local and individual needs.”

The plan's answer to staffing problems in care is permanent own staff: a national drive for more staffed care beds and conditions that make shortage professions dream jobs. The counter-proposal's requirement for stable, permanent staffing with own employees instead of dependent on hired personnel is in line with this. The plan, however, does not take position on the role of staffing companies as such, so the coverage is derived.

• more staffed care bedsdecisive»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 a national drive during the next term for more staffed care beds across the country so that you as a patient can receive care faster.”
• own employees with good conditions»För att klara det måste de som arbetar inom vården mötas av goda arbetsvillkor, fler kollegor och bra löneutveckling.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“To achieve this, those working in care must be met with good working conditions, more colleagues and good wage development.”
• attractive care professions»Bristyrken ska bli drömjobb.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Shortage professions shall become dream jobs.”
• diversity of care providers»Vårdval och etableringsfrihet ska råda i hela landet för den som lever upp till kvalitetskraven.« (party programme ↗)“Care choice and establishment freedom shall prevail throughout the country for those meeting quality requirements.”

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 election manifesto explicitly states that the need for expensive hired staff should decrease and that conditions in care shortage occupations should improve, which is exactly what the counter-proposal requires. The plan also wants to consolidate stewardship with the state instead of 21 regions, which directly addresses regions competing for staff. Healthcare should according to the party programme be cost-effective.

• reduce expensive hired staffdecisive»Utbilda mer personal för sjukvården. Förbättrade villkor i vårdens bristyrken och minska behovet av dyr inhyrd personal.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Educate more staff for healthcare. Improved conditions in care shortage occupations and reduce the need for expensive hired staff.”
• state stewardship of healthcare»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 single organization instead of 21 different.”
• cost-effective care»hälso- och sjukvården ska vara ändamålsenlig och kostnadseffektiv, säker för patienterna« (party programme ↗)“healthcare should be purposeful and cost-effective, safe for patients”

The party programme makes diversity of providers and freedom of choice into supporting principles in welfare and warns against centrally controlled uniform solutions. Making health and medical care independent of staffing companies means an actor group is excluded, which goes against that line. The plan's answer to the staffing problem is instead to strengthen care's own staff and get more hands in care.

• diversity of providersdecisive»En mångfald av aktörer är också en förutsättning för förnyelse och innovation.« (party programme ↗)“A diversity of providers is also a precondition for renewal and innovation.”
• more freedom of choice in welfare»vi behöva mer valfrihet, mångfald och innovationsförmåga,« (party programme ↗)“we need more freedom of choice, diversity and capacity for innovation,”
• strengthened care staff»Stärka vårdens medarbetare, bland annat genom att förbättra arbetsmiljön och möjligheterna till vidareutbildning« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Strengthen care's staff, among other things through improving the working environment and opportunities for further training”

The plan identifies expensive consultants as an example of public waste and demands that unnecessary spending be scaled back so funds go to the core of welfare. It also identifies gaps in healthcare's competence supply as a main problem and wants to review healthcare's organization. This speaks for the counter-proposal's demand for stable in-house staffing instead of dependence on hired personnel.

• stop expensive consulting costsdecisive»dyra konsulter, utköp av personal och många andra märkliga satsningar« (2022 manifesto ↗)“expensive consultants, staff buyouts and many other strange investments”
• gaps in competence supply»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 largely concerns that governance through 21 different regions creates unclear lines, goal conflicts, gradually increasing administration and gaps in competence supply.”
• reduce public waste»Skala bort onödiga utgifter i det offentliga« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Scale back unnecessary public spending”
• reform healthcare organization»Se över sjukvårdens organisation« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Review healthcare's organization”
