Förändringar av en rättighetslag

Abstract

Vi har studerat en laglig rättighet som vissa personer med funktionshinder kan ha en rätt till i Sverige. Dessa rättigheter finns i lag (1993:387) om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade. Vi har studerat de förslag till ändringar som kan komma att ske i insatsen personlig assistans. Vi har även studerat den föreslagna insatsen personlig service med boendestöd som är tänkt att ersätta en del av insatsen personlig assistans. Vi frågar oss om dessa insatser, efter en eventuell lagändring, kan anses vara rättigheter samt ingå i en rättighetslag. Vårt material har vi samlat in främst genom fem intervjuer med sex informanter. Vi har även studerat betänkandet SOU 2008:77, remissyttranden samt artiklar som berör vårt ämne. Vår studie visar på en stor skepsism gentemot den föreslagna insatsen personlig service med boendestöd. Överlag finns det tvivel kring SOU 2008:77. Dock fann vi även en del positiva aspekter så som kontroll över assistansanordnare. Vår slutsats är att även om insatsen personlig assistans fortsatt kan ses vara en rättighet efter en eventuell lagändring, så kan inte den föreslagna insatsen personlig service med boendestöd anses vara en rättvis del i en rättighetslag.We have studied a legal privilege that individuals with certain kinds of handicap can have a right to here in Sweden. The rights that individuals with certain kinds of handicap have are written in a law named: law (1993:387) on support and service for certain disabled persons. We have studied the changes with a focus on personal assistance effort. We have also looked at a proposal for a new effort to replace a part of personal assistance. This proposed effort will be named personal service with housing. We are wondering whether these efforts will be of such quality, in case of a possible change, that they can be included in a law of privilege. We have gathered our materials mainly through five interviews with six informants. We have also studied different texts, including the bill, various municipalities’ remarks to the bill and articles. Our study showed a large scepticism towards the proposal on personal service with housing. Overall the opinions we came across were expressing doubt regarding the bill for changes in the law on support and service for certain disabled. Though we also reached the conclusion that there are some positive suggestions within the bill. One of the more positive aspects was a more rigid control of those who hire personal assistants. Our conclusion is that even if the effort personal assistance can still be seen as a right after a possible change, the new proposal on personal service with housing cannot be considered to be a just right for individuals with certain kinds of handicap. Thus the suggested effort of personal service with housing cannot be included in a law of privilege
