Ambulance personnel have been ordered to protective work in some cases.
Johan Bratt says that most of the business is running as normal, the region was prepared for what would happen. But in about 20 cases, spread over the units in the region, operations have been cancelled.
It applies to non-emergency cases, says chief physician Johan Larsson.
Ambulance personnel have also been ordered to protective work when working hours are over while the operation was still ongoing and then switched to overtime.
We have that right, says Johan Larsson.
Several employers have requested negotiation about protective work, which takes place afterwards to determine whether the ordered protective work was justified.
In urgent situations, the employer can order protective work in emergency situations that cannot wait. It should not be about the more everyday tasks, but something that arises suddenly connected to a particular patient or a particular situation.
We have received a number, says Emma Jonsson, chairman of the Swedish Healthcare Association in Stockholm.
Even in Örebro, the employer has requested negotiations on protective work in some cases.
We have also received a request for negotiations to maintain emergency lines, says Ulrika Hedelind, chairperson of the Örebro Healthcare Association.
Staff may be on standby in the home after regular working hours for a small fee, it may be that staff who work in the evening are on standby overnight. If standby personnel are called in, overtime is deducted.
Our approach is that the employer is happy to maintain the readiness itself, but if you are called in, it is overtime, so it is covered by the blockade, says Ulrika Hedelind.
During Friday, regions go through the consequences of the blockade.
Matilda Uusijärvi, press manager at Vårdförbundet, says that member searches have increased significantly.
In April alone, we received 2,000 applications, the last few days there are 400. We interpret that as the support is very large, she says.
