Follow-up and evaluation of the reform

The plan requires that resources for health and medical care increase to cover needs and that care is equal and equitable regardless of where in the country you live. Careful monitoring of whether resources, financing and division of responsibility are sufficient, with gender equality and non-discrimination perspectives, is a means to ensure exactly that. The counter-proposal's demands are therefore in line with the plan.

• increased resources for caredecisive»Resurserna till hälso- och sjukvården måste öka för att täcka behoven« (party programme ↗)“Resources for health and medical care must increase to cover needs”
• equal and equitable care»Sjukvården måste vara jämlik, jämställd och tillgänglig, oavsett var i landet du bor och oavsett vem du är.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Healthcare must be equal, equitable and accessible, regardless of where in the country you live and regardless of who you are.”
• investments in care and staff»Därför vill Vänsterpartiet satsa mer resurser på hälso- och sjukvården och äldreomsorgen, samt satsa på personalen så att vi samtidigt får bort personalbristen och stärker personalens villkor och arbetsmiljö.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“That is why the Left Party wants to invest more resources in health and medical care and elderly care, and invest in staff so that we at the same time reduce staff shortages and strengthen staff conditions and working environment.”

The plan requires ambitious measures against mental ill-health and equitable and gender-equal public health, and a welfare with long-term and sustainable financing. Careful monitoring of crowding-out effects, responsibility division and financing, with a gender equality perspective, serves just these commitments. The plan does not address monitoring forms, however, so the conclusion is derived.

• measures against mental ill-healthdecisive»Ambitiösa insatser mot psykisk ohälsa, särskilt bland barn och unga.« (party programme ↗)“Ambitious measures against mental ill-health, especially among children and young people.”
• equitable public health»Jämlik och jämställd folkhälsa.« (party programme ↗)“Equal and gender-equal public health.”
• sustainable welfare financing»En välfärd med långsiktig och hållbar finansiering.« (party programme ↗)“A welfare with long-term and sustainable financing.”

The counter-proposal wants careful follow-up of whether the reform produces the intended effects, whether crowding-out occurs and whether funding is sufficient, with equality and anti-discrimination perspectives. The plan establishes that access to support is unequally distributed between regions and groups and that care shall be based on science and proven experience. The plan's intersectional starting point also carries the requirement for an equality perspective.

• unequal access shall be followed updecisive»otillräcklig och ojämnt fördelad, med stora skillnader mellan regioner och olika grupper i« (party programme ↗)“insufficient and unequally distributed, with large differences between regions and different groups in”
• science and proven experience»sammanhållen beroendevård som bygger på vetenskap och beprövad erfarenhet, där« (party programme ↗)“coherent substance abuse care that is based on science and proven experience, where”
• intersectional perspective»intersektionellt synsätt som innebär att olika sociala kategorier samverkar, interagerar« (party programme ↗)“intersectional perspective which means that different social categories interact, interact”
• accessible care for mental ill-health»satsa på primärvården och öka tillgången till vård för psykisk ohälsa.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“invest in primary care and increase access to care for mental ill-health.”

The plan requires equal and reliable welfare regardless of where you live, better support for mental illness and that equality permeates policy. Careful monitoring of whether the reform produces the intended effects, whether crowding-out occurs and whether financing is sufficient, with equality and anti-discrimination perspective, follows from these commitments. However, the plan says nothing about this specific reform's monitoring.

• equal welfaredecisive»Alla invånare ska ha tillgång till en likvärdig och pålitlig välfärd oavsett var de bor, och den offentliga servicen ska finnas där när man behöver den.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“All residents shall have access to equal and reliable welfare regardless of where they live, and public services shall be there when needed.”
• better support for mental illness»Stödet för personer med psykisk ohälsa måste förbättras, inte minst för unga.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Support for people with mental illness must be improved, especially for young people.”
• equality perspective»Vi ska bygga ett jämställt Sverige med möjligheter och rättvisa för alla.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We shall build an equal Sweden with opportunities and justice for all.”
• combat discrimination»Vi bekämpar alla strukturer, formella och informella, som förtrycker eller diskriminerar människor.« (party programme ↗)“We combat all structures, formal and informal, that oppress or discriminate against people.”

The plan requires that care and treatment of physical and mental illnesses is provided on scientific grounds and that addiction care is scientifically based, which presupposes that effects are actually followed up. It also requires equivalent quality regardless of place of residence and that a gender equality perspective is integrated in all relevant public decisions. Careful follow-up of the reform with a gender equality perspective therefore follows from the plan.

• scientifically based caredecisive»Vård, behandling och rehabilitering av fysiska och psykiska sjukdomar ska ges på vetenskaplig grund.« (party programme ↗)“Care, treatment and rehabilitation of physical and mental illnesses shall be provided on scientific grounds.”
• evidence-based addiction care»Missbruks- och beroendevården ska vara vetenskapligt grundad.« (party programme ↗)“Addiction and dependency care shall be scientifically based.”
• gender equality perspective in decisions»Ett jämställdhetsperspektiv ska integreras i alla relevanta offentliga beslut.« (party programme ↗)“A gender equality perspective shall be integrated in all relevant public decisions.”
• equivalent welfare»Oavsett bostadsort har individer rätt att få likvärdig kvalitet på vården, omsorgen, socialtjänsten och andra välfärdstjänster.« (party programme ↗)“Regardless of place of residence individuals have the right to receive equivalent quality in care, support, social services and other welfare services.”

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 makes evaluation, cost follow-up and quality control central political tasks and requires that decisions be tested against their long-term consequences. Careful monitoring of whether the reform produces intended effects, whether displacement occurs in psychiatry and whether financing is sufficient follows from that, as does the requirement for equitable and accessible care.

• follow-up as a political taskdecisive»kostnadsuppföljning och kvalitetskontroll är därför viktiga politiska uppgifter.« (party programme ↗)“cost follow-up and quality control are therefore important political tasks.”
• equitable and accessible care»Vården ska vara jämlik och tillgänglig för hela befolkningen.« (party programme ↗)“Care shall be equitable and accessible to the entire population.”
• accessible psychiatric care»snabb och tillgänglig kompetens för barn och ungdom med psykisk ohälsa.« (party programme ↗)“fast and accessible expertise for children and young people with mental illness.”
• consequences shall be considered»Alla politiska beslut bör fattas i enlighet med förvaltarskapsprincipen, vilket innebär att« (party programme ↗)“All political decisions should be made in accordance with the stewardship principle, which means that”

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 says nothing about monitoring of this specific reform. It rests instead on reforms being based on research and proven experience, and on the party constantly evaluating and reconsidering what has been implemented, and it promises that welfare shall function regardless of where in the country one lives. That argues for careful monitoring of effects and potential displacement. The support is derived and uncertain.

• ständig utvärdering av reformerdecisive»beredskap för att utvärdera, ompröva, förändra och förbättra« (party programme ↗)“readiness to evaluate, reconsider, change and improve”
• likvärdig välfärd i hela landet»Du ska kunna känna dig trygg med att välfärden fungerar oavsett var i landet du bor.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“You should be able to feel safe that welfare functions regardless of where in the country you live.”

The plan requires clear results for every public investment and wants to strengthen resources to psychiatry, which speaks for careful follow-up of whether the reform achieves its intended effect and whether funding is sufficient. The plan's demand for full compensation to municipalities supports follow-up of costs. The part about gender equality perspective lies however further from the plan, which favors formal rather than outcome-driven equality.

• results follow-updecisive»Begära tydliga resultat för varje offentlig satsning« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Demand clear results for every public investment”
• resources for psychiatry»Stärka resurserna till psykiatrin« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Strengthen resources to psychiatry”
• full municipal cost coverage»Staten bör aldrig fatta beslut om nya kostnadsdrivande åtaganden för kommunerna utan att fullt ut kompensera dem för kostnaderna.« (party programme ↗)“The state should never make decisions about new cost-driving commitments for municipalities without fully compensating them for the costs.”
• formal equality»Riktig jämställdhet nås inte genom att vidta politiska åtgärder för att på gruppnivå skapa samma utfall mellan män och kvinnor, utan genom att ta krafttag mot samhällsfenomen som begränsar den enskilde.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“True equality is not achieved by taking political action to create the same outcome at group level between men and women, but by taking action against social phenomena that restrict the individual.”
