About this statute

This section says the law’s purpose is to use service vouchers in social and health care to give clients and patients more choice, improve access to services, and support cooperation between municipal social and health care, municipal business life, and private service providers. This section says the Act applies to the use of service vouchers for social and health care services arranged by municipalities, and that provisions about municipalities also apply to joint municipal authorities. This section defines key terms used in the Act: client, service voucher, income-related service voucher, and deductible share. Kommunen måste bestämma vilka social- och hälsovårdstjänster som kan använda servicesedlar, godkänna berörda privata serviceproducenter, föra en förteckning och hålla viss information offentligt tillgänglig. Municipal approval is limited to service providers that meet the listed conditions, and the municipality’s own requirements must be non-discriminatory and objectively based.
