– The current labor laws make it very difficult for me to increase staffing abruptly when I need it, says Øyvind Skraastad, head of emergency clinic to NRK.
He believes that The emergency is very unpredictable and in conflict with current working hours. He calls these too rigid and time-consuming when to apply for exemptions.
– The main thing for me is to have proper patient care. When I break the law, then it is not because I do not take it seriously. We have revealed a system problem when we break the law so many times, he said.
union representative for Fagforbundet on OUS Bjorn Wølstad-Knudsen, believes that the problem lies in that the basic staffing needs to be increased by hiring more people and not that the Working Environment Act is too strict.
The problems are not new. Earlier lay number of offenses of acute clinic alone at between 12,000 and 13,000 a year. Last year wrote Dagsavisen that OUS totally broke Working Environment Act 32,258 times in 2013, and that emergency clinic also when accounting for a significant proportion of violations. (© NTB)
