Region Dalarna raises BUP compensation by 25 percent

Region Dalarna has decided to increase compensation under Vårdval BUP by 25 percent. The investment applies retroactively from the turn of the year and aims to secure access to psychiatric care for children and youth in the county.

Region Dalarna announces a 25 percent increase in compensation under Vårdval BUP. The decision applies retroactively from the turn of the year and forms part of efforts to address mental health issues among youth.

The political majority, Samling för Dalarna, states that the previous compensation no longer covers the costs of the assignment. The measure aims to ensure continued access to specialist psychiatric care for children and youth in the region.

The background is the growing need for care in child and adolescent psychiatry, BUP. The region hopes the increase will lead to stable operations and better access for those in need.
