Region Uppsala civil defense registers all permanent staff based on total defense needs. This means no obligations for the individual employee in peacetime but is solely a planning measure. Before making an employment decision, a check is made of suspected and burden registers for all job seekers who in the sought position may work within psychiatric care, rehabilitation, care of children and youth, or compulsory care of substance abusers, areas covered by optional register excerpts. This applies thus to all who will work directly with patients, even if work tasks at present are not intended to mainly contain work with the above-mentioned patient groups.
