They mentioned it on the local radio station P4 Stockholm yesterday :)

Rädda Gottfrieskliniken (Save the Gottfries Clinic) on Facebook said:
While Västra Götaland is destroying their only centre for ME/CFS patients [the Gottfries Clinic], Stockholm County Council is opening their second biomedical centre for the same group of patients.

The reason is that the queue to the first, Stora Sköndal, is very long. The Gottfries Clinic has 500 referrals waiting, too.

"Stockholm is getting a new centre for people suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome, ME/CFS. This has the Alliance [a centre-right political alliance] in Stockholm County Council decided. There is already such a centre in Sköndal, the new one will open in Östermalm November 1st."

I will share more info as soon as it becomes publicly available :)

(A press release was published the other day, before the meeting where they made the official decision took place, but it seems they have deleted it now...)
