FORSSA, Finland - In a Nordic country used to a high level of state social care, Finns were shocked to hear of care homes leaving elderly patients all night in soaked diapers, a scandal that may play a part in helping the left return to power after 20 years in opposition.
Centrist Prime Minister Juha Sipila had hoped to offset the rise by cutting services and stepping up privatization. But the task of reforming the healthcare system proved too great and Sipila’s center-right government resigned.Concerns about social welfare have been a gift for the opposition Social Democrat Party that has led polls for almost a year, with 20.1 percent of the vote in the latest one by public broadcaster Yle.
For now, taxpayers have been able to pay for round-the-clock care, but that may not be the case for future generations. “Then there was the healthcare and social services reform and the debate about elderly care and nurse threshold,” Turja said.
