In the coming Fall budget, the Alliance government is planning to invest a large amount on increasing the number of doctors and nurses. From 2017 the plan is to train 300 more doctors and 700 more nurses every year in Sweden.

The proposal for next year is to have 50 new openings for medical students to become doctors and 60 new openings for medical students to become nurses. The increase of openings for medical studies will done a step at a time.

This is good considering that the educational facilities are very under dimensioned today. Hopefully this will, in the long run, lead to removal of the problem with hired personnel. The cost for Gävlebord so far this year, Jan. – July, is 129 million SEK. This is an increase of 22 million SEK compared to last year when hired doctors made up the greatest part of the cost, 116 million SEK.

Today there is an ongoing budget work to improve the doctor situation in Gävleborg’s county council, both long term and short term.

I say, "The Alliance government’s investment in medical education, the long queues, investment in psychiatry, etcetera, are more than welcome".  

A light is visible in the darkness.
