Lindtman also listed Sdp’s proposals to curb the price of electricity.
Sdp’s chairman of the parliamentary group Antti Lindtman criticized the opposition party in its speech at the summer meeting of the parliamentary group, which announced that it would make a midterm question on the state of care for the elderly.
“Obviously, it is interesting that the interim question is asked by a party that is always responsible when it has done everything to oppose the resources and criteria for better care for the elderly. Although it is known that this is a problem that has lasted for years, the coalition has always put tax reductions for high-income earners ahead of the development of a welfare society and better care for the elderly,” Lindtman said in Kuopio.

He added that the Sdp is not ready to abandon nurse sizing. It is scheduled to tighten to 0.7 in April next year. This means that there must be at least seventy per customer in enhanced service housing for the elderly.
The law tightening the rationing of nurses was enacted to improve the care of the elderly.
Recently, however, the tightening of sizing has attracted criticism because some industry operators and politicians from the opposition coalition party have considered it one of the reasons for the record-breaking congestion in hospital emergency rooms.
“The coalition now has to answer the question again, whether it is ready to accept the nursing measure and the new positions it requires, or whether it is still enough for the party to insist that a person is not a decimal,” said Lindtman.
Lindtman repeated already told before Sdp’s proposals to curb the price of electricity. In Sdp’s opinion, a lower electricity price ceiling than the current one is needed at the EU level for the winter.
“Minister of Economy Mika Lintilän (central) must be active in this regard in the direction of other EU countries. That’s why Finland should now start a discussion about creating a functioning electricity price ceiling.”
The Prime Minister’s Party also proposes that the power plants within the power reserve should be commissioned next winter.
“When more power is brought to the market, the price of electricity will drop for sure. The additional power of the current power reserve of 600 megawatts is equivalent to one Loviisa reactor,” said Lindtman.
Thirdly, he said that there is no reason to scrap the emissions trading system, but more emission rights are needed on the market for the winter.
“Furthermore, the Loviisa nuclear power plants must be granted an extension permit. These methods will get you far.”
