Ambulance services and the 1177 hotline in Värmland may face high stress due to a new strike notice from the Vårdförbundet.

Region Värmland processes around 450 calls daily through 1177, and the calls will need to be handled elsewhere if the strike begins on June 11. Negotiations are ongoing, and Region Värmland is planning to minimize the impact.

Hospital emergency departments and the 112 service are likely to experience increased pressure as a result of the strike.
