About this statute

Several authorities are assigned supervisory and steering responsibilities for mental health work and state mental hospitals. The well-being services county must ensure that the mental health services covered by this law are provided within its area as part of primary care, specialised health care, and social care. The welfare area must ensure that mental health services are provided in a way that matches the need in the welfare area. For people with mental illnesses or other mental disorders, supported and service housing must be arranged together with necessary medical or social rehabilitation, in addition to adequate care and services. Läkare ska i vissa fall skriva observationsremiss och ordna sjukhusundersökning; vissa patienter kan intas eller lämnas under övervakning på statligt sinnessjukhus enligt villkor.
