- 2025 April 8, Ida Andersson, Ricardo Garcia, “Beslutet om Ljungby lasarett stoppades av oppositionen”, in w:SVT Nyheter‎^[1], archived from the original on 9 April 2025:
  I majoritetens förslag ska Ljungby lasarett fortsatt vara ett akutsjukhus med dygnet runt-verksamhet, operationsverksamhet, medicin, kirurgi och tillgång till intermediärvård (IM) som är en vårdform mellan intensivvård och vanlig vårdavdelning. Men nu har förslaget alltså stoppats av oppositionen, som menar att flera saker behöver utredas närmare före beslut.
  In the majority's proposal, Ljungby Hospital is to remain an emergency hospital with round-the-clock operations, surgical services, internal medicine, general surgery, and access to intermediate care (IM), a level of care between intensive care and a regular ward. But the proposal has now been blocked by the opposition, which argues that several aspects need to be examined more closely before a decision is made.
