Åsa Dedering is leaving her role as health care director in Region Dalarna on 6 July. The decision was made at her own request after about five years in the post.
Dedering has faced criticism over the handling of the Cosmic journal system and dismissed managers during her tenure. In the spring she received a protest list signed by around 270 employees after the head of the medical clinic in Falun was not given renewed confidence.
She has described the decision as difficult with many considerations. After her vacation she will be placed on paid leave at 159 000 kronor per month, which the region covers.
An acting health care director will be appointed until a new one is recruited. Dedering will then return to her basic employment within the region.
