The treatment time guarantee is tightening: Stricter time limits for accessing non-urgent care starting 1 September 2023
Beginning in September, you should be able to contact a health station during regular operating hours and receive a response on the same day. You should also receive an individual assessment of the need and urgency for your treatment. Non-urgent care should be available within 14 days. Unfortunately, there are currently delays in some services, and we have not yet met the treatment time guarantee targets in all our services. Nevertheless, we are actively working towards achieving these targets.
