A functioning health care system is important and expected by the society to meet the populations expectations and needs. This requires financial as well as human resources. But what is the bigger issue if the health care spends a lot of money on medical locum. The big expense, or the fact that it is necessary?After 1990 several sectors were re-regulated in Sweden, which led to the sectors being less controlled by the state while expanding in the private sector. This essay is going to examine how the re-regulations of the employment services and the health care sector affect each other. The purpose is to investigate why the concept of locum doctors has become more common in the health care during the period 2004-2018. The result is based on material from a national project about the subject as well as material from a region. It shows that the need for locum doctors exist because of difficulties recruiting in certain areas within health care, such as primary care and psychiatry. Even the geographic location seems to be a factor. It is mainly the long-term need of staff which is solved by hiring locum doctors that is seen as problematic.
