Difficult situation at health center in Askersund

Staff describe a strained work situation at the health center in Askersund. Pensioner organizations have invited the public to a meeting with politicians.

Accounts from staff show that several have quit and others are crying due to the workload. One employee says the situation cannot continue like this and that it must turn around.

Yesterday Nerikes Allehanda reported that pensioner organizations in Askersund municipality had had enough of the problems. Phone calls go unanswered and waiting times are long for tests.

The organizations are now inviting the public to a meeting with responsible politicians to discuss the situation.
