Statement

• Call on authorities to involve organisations of persons with disabilities in the creation of ethical guidelines on prioritisation of patients – Funktionskratt

Guidelines have since been published, Funktionskratt were not involved but their comments were taken in consideration and state that prioritisation must not be based on the patient’s social situation or position, disability or on whether the patient himself has contributed to his condition.

• We denounce moves by local authorities to prioritise care in group homes and cut funding to services that provide community-based support – Heja Olika
