Suspected salary fraud at Örebro University Hospital

Overview

Investigations into the emergency clinic at Örebro University Hospital have uncovered a suspected systematic salary fraud involving a “shadow schedule” system. Initial reports indicated that several high-paid doctors may have received compensation for shifts they did not work, occurring alongside periods of staff shortages.

Subsequent findings by Nerikes Allehanda suggest the scale of the suspected fraud is between 30 million and 40 million SEK. The investigation indicates the activity was a planned, continuous system supported by thousands of documents and payroll records. Furthermore, allegations have emerged that hospital management, including the healthcare director, was alerted to these discrepancies by schedulers but failed to report the matter to the police, allegedly attempting to suppress alarms regarding the scandal.
