[Study of health care provided to asylum seekers in Stockholm and Norrbotten. Asylum seekers received more services than those stipulated by contract, health assessment interviews excepted].
As part of an agreement between the Swedish government and the county councils on reimbursement for health care services for refugees, the National Board of Health and Welfare conducted a survey in Stockholm and Norrbotten counties during 2000. The study comprised a randomly selected group of refugees in which the total amount of health care services consumed was studied for 100 persons in Stockholm and 60 persons in Norrbotten. The outcome indicates that services provided in part exceeded those stipulated in the agreement, i.e. in offering elective health care services and in other respects is unsatisfactory i.e. not offering health assessment interviews to refugees.
