Regeringen satsar 5,6 miljarder på psykiatrin

The government is investing further in psychiatry Among other things people want more care places and fewer people to be bounced between institutions They will also establish the suicide accident commission that they have been talking about since 2022 The fact that as many as 1 500 people choose to take their own lives in our country is a very serious signal We must work with previous preventive measures That is why it means so much that today we can announce that we will have an accident commission in Sweden ose who will work based on the assumption that one learns when despite all preventive calls or preventive measures It still leads people to choose to take their own lives Then we must learn from it So that the school social services healthcare and other actors are involved in working together To turn this situation around The government emphasizes the particular need for more care places within psychiatry and that people are not discharged too early without follow-up measures The police sometimes find people who have left their homes and ended up in an emergency psychiatric ward They are out very quickly again We must get away from it and that requires investments I expect the regions to now use every single krona for adult psychiatry For homeless people in Sweden with both mental illness and substance abuse issues It is proposed that a comorbidity reform be implemented where the regions take full responsibility for care The municipalities are responsible for housing and support Today the care for these people is not working They are bounced between the municipality and the region The municipalities say one thing the region says another but the conclusion is that people don't get the care they need This is a long-awaited reform for many both those affected and their relatives Those who see their relatives without receiving the right support
