Region Dalarna has managed to cut costs for hired personnel by 40 million kronor in one year. The 21 percent reduction is partly due to a stop on hiring nurses, though exceptions are still allowed.
Region Dalarna has achieved a significant reduction in costs for hired personnel over the past year. According to reports, expenses have dropped by 21 percent from 2024 to 2025, equating to savings of about 40 million kronor. Costs fell from 190 million kronor in 2024 to 150 million kronor in 2025.
A key measure has been a halt to hiring nurses, which has contributed to the overall cost reduction. Exceptions are still made in certain cases to ensure continuity of care. The region is focusing on managing staffing needs internally to maintain efficiency and financial sustainability.
This development reflects broader efforts within the region to optimize resources in healthcare. The savings highlight the importance of strategic decisions in addressing rising costs for temporary staff.
