title: ["Target groups 1-3" must be granted priority access to health care services. Health care needs of somatically and mentally disabled persons in Robetsfors].
abstract: People with serious functional disabilities do not always call attention to their needs for care, and are therefore a vulnerable group in our society. In Sweden, The Act Concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (LSS) is intended to provide for them. Our research found that people with serious physical or psychiatric disability suffer more often from intercurrent disease and have more problems with their eyesight, hearing and dental health than do other individuals. The responsibility for their respective health care needs must be clarified, so that the group is given priority access to the health care system and services for rehabilitation.
