Lex Maria report and maximum 25 pupils per class

A healthcare centre in Södertälje has filed a lex Maria report with Ivo after a child developed facial paralysis and was diagnosed with Lyme disease. Residents of Nynäshamn Municipality have the second-highest rate of late bill payments in Stockholm County. At the same time, Stockholm’s municipal lower primary schools are to have a maximum of 25 pupils per class from autumn 2027.

Health centre in Södertälje reports itself to Ivo

A child sought care at a health centre in Södertälje in June this year after a suspected tick bite and had by then developed a rash on the face. Healthcare staff assessed that the rash was not a typical sign of Lyme disease, did not prescribe any antibiotics and instead advised waiting.

Just over 1 week later, the child sought care at the paediatric emergency department after suffering facial paralysis. The child was given antibiotics, and a sample of the fluid around the spinal cord showed Lyme disease that had spread to the nervous system. The health centre has now made a lex Maria report to the Inspectorate for Health and Social Care (Ivo), the authority that receives reports of serious healthcare incidents. In the report, the health centre states that it will analyse the incident more closely in order to strengthen patient safety. SVT Nyheter Södertälje

Trained architect got no job – moved to Switzerland

An architect who came to Sweden at age 18 in 2014, when her hometown of Raqqa in northern Syria fell into the hands of the terrorist group Islamic State (IS), was admitted to the architecture program at KTH. After her studies, she got no job. She experiences discrimination in the labor market and says that political rhetoric has fueled xenophobia among employers. Today she is doing an internship at an architectural firm in Switzerland.

Magnus Bygren, professor of sociology at Stockholm University, has studied inequalities and discrimination in the labor market for over 10 years. In his latest study, thousands of fictitious job applications were sent out, and the results showed that people with names from the Middle East and former Yugoslavia have a 30 percent lower chance of getting first contact with a Swedish employer.

Man arrested in the police area in Solna

At around 18.30, security guards observed 2 people at the police training facility Sörentorp in Solna, which is a protected object – an area where unauthorized persons are not allowed to be present. 1 person has been arrested for violating the protection law. The police do not know whether there is 1 more person, and the search was conducted with dog patrols and a helicopter.

Sörentorp, previously known as Polishögskolan, is a protected object. It is still unclear why the man entered the police area. “It is possible to get in, but it is difficult. You do not end up there by mistake,” says police spokesperson Mats Eriksson. SVT Nyheter Stockholm
