The FSHS complies with current care guarantee legislation and the time limits it sets regarding assessment of the need for treatment and access to care, and reports on how well it meets these requirements. This page shows the response times and access to general, mental and oral health care services during the past six months. Information provided on the website is updated on the 7th working day of every month.

The information published on the website shows how the care guarantee requirements are met at the FSHS’s own service units. About 5% of FSHS patients use partner services or outsourced services. Information on these services will be provided on the FSHS website at a later date.

Assessing the need for treatment

The urgency of need for treatment is assessed within three days of the patient contacting us. The urgency of access to care is determined individually on the basis of a treatment need assessment, taking into account the symptoms and their severity.
