30.12.2019 | Finland är ett glesbebyggt land med långa avstånd, men sjukdomsfall och olyckor kan inträffa var som helst. Därför är det viktigt att se till att hjälp finns tillgänglig i nödsituationer. I förordningen om arbetsfördelning och centralisering av vissa uppgifter inom den specialiserade sjukvården föreslås nu ändringar som ska säkerställa patientsäkerheten i hela Finland oberoende av patientens bostads- eller vistelseort. Samtidigt upprätthålls och stärks regionernas livskraft.https://stm.fi/sv/-/ministeri-kiuru-hata-ei-katso-aikaa-eika-paikkaa-keskittamisasetuksen-muutoksella-lisaa-potilasturvallisuutta

29.5.2020 | Över hälften av finländarna övergick till distansarbete på grund av coronaviruset. Trots att rekommendationen om distansarbete gäller över sommaren, är det möjligt att en del återvänder till sina arbetsplatser redan tidigare. Vilka saker borde vi beakta för att återgången till arbetsplatsen ska gå tryggt och smidigt? Vad har vi lärt oss under den här tiden som vi kan dra nytta av också i fortsättningen?https://stm.fi/sv/-/ministeri-pekonen-tyoyhteison-joustavuus-auttaa-kriisin-lapi

2.12.2020 | Det börjar vara en hel del år sedan min vardag var en småbarnsförälders. Mitt yngsta barn är idag 15 år. Jag minns ändå tiden som småbarnsförälder med värme. Att vara pappa är nämligen det viktigaste uppdraget jag haft. Fortfarande är barnen, också de vuxna barnen en viktig del i mitt liv. Den tid jag tillbringade med barnen då de var små är den mest välanvända tiden jag haft. Jag hoppas att alla föräldrar får vara en del av sina barns uppväxt genom alla stadier.https://stm.fi/sv/-/minister-blomqvist-pappor-var-en-del-av-era-barns-liv

17.9.2020 | Budgetförhandlingarna inför 2021 är viktiga också ur ett jämställdhetsperspektiv. Regeringen har i regeringsprogrammet förbundit sig till att främja jämställdhet, inklusive i budgetprocessen och i alla centrala reformer. Det här har också en koppling till kunskapsbaserat beslutsfattande. Genom att utnyttja statistik och konsekvensbedömningar kan vi förbättra transparensen, ändamålsenligheten och rättviseaspekten i beslutsfattandet, också ur ett jämställdhetsperspektiv.https://stm.fi/sv/-/minister-blomqvist-budgetering-ar-ocksa-jamstalldhetspolitik
