| Description | The SNAO’s audit shows that the Government, the National Board of Health and Welfare and the county administrative boards have all failed fully to comply with their duty to create, within their respective remits, the conditions necessary to attain a good level of quality and transparency in privately run care for the elderly. For the elderly people concerned, there is a risk that this may influence the quality of privately run care services. The SNAO finds that the National Board of Health and Welfare has neglected its duty to monitor privately run eldercare services. It has failed to obtain knowledge of the agreements that municipalities conclude with private providers, including the quality criteria imposed in them. The SNAO’s review of municipalities’ agreements with private providers of special residential services and home-help services shows that explicit requirements are often lacking as regards transparency for the general public, the qualifications of managers, support for staff, and criteria for quality and quality assurance. |
