Too expensive to flirt with today's pensioners in the electoral movement

Lena Hallengren (S) has the title of Minister of Children, Elderly and Gender Equality. Nearly two months before the elections, she made a statement on the drafting of a special law on seniors. Former Minister Margareta Winberg – born in 1947, no ageism – will investigate the case.

Today, retirees with care and care need their tested needs under the Social Services Act, unlike young people who may need help. , the law on support and service.

The government appointed a LSS investigation since the 1994 reform became very expensive while it was not working. Sometimes people with high needs are denied action while repetitive cheating is found

PRO and SPF want a law on "good living conditions"

Lena Hallengren should have surrendered has problems with LSS. Special legislation for the elderly can lead to new costly difficulties. But PRO, the retirement movement, still led by old sisters, wants a team.

More senior citizens SPF want the Social Services Act to be rewritten so that older people are assured of "good living conditions", the same wording in LSS, in The place for "reasonable" conditions.

The Hallengren does not express a clear idea of ​​what a senior couple should contain, but simply that it would help to focus more on the politics of seniors. The investigator Margareta Winberg talks about ensuring dignified and equal care wherever you live in the country

The Liberals want housing for the "years"

The attention given to the elderly manifests itself in the coming years. In 20 years, it is estimated that 900,000 Swedes are 90 years old. Although each generation of retirees is healthier and lives longer than the previous generation, the care and nursing needs of those hundreds of years would require a greater proportion of tax revenues than today. .

Then it is stupid to think of the ways of government Guaranteed that the 80 or 85 years would automatically be entitled to a nursing home care being "Year Old", which is ridiculous Liberalian [19659014]. L also wants to give the 85 years this right

Tingsryd before Kristianstad removed

Some municipalities are already working with such promises. Tingsryd decided the other day that anyone who has reached the age of 90 and wants a place to live in a retirement home will receive it without assault test starting September 1st of this year. Only moderators have invaded.

Perhaps the municipality will guarantee the guarantee, there are currently empty places. And if you do not, you can rip the decision. In Kristianstad, the 90-year guarantee was abolished two years ago

This is certainly not equivalent when municipalities come forward or are given guarantees. But it's easier to go back to local decisions. If the state is facing something like an old relegation, it will be almost impossible to rub.

Swedish politicians must learn from the LSS and prepare for the advancement of the fourteen in the care of the elderly.
