22 January 2024 at 06:34 The Minister of Health cancels participation in the OECD meeting in Paris Health and Care Minister Ingvild Kjerkol was supposed to participate in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (OECD) health minister’s meeting in Paris this week, according to the government’s calendar. – Kjerkol’s participation in the OECD meeting in Paris on Monday and Tuesday is cancelled, writes a press officer in the Ministry of Health and Care to news. The ministry does not state the reason for the cancellation of the trip. At the weekend, news and VG wrote that the Minister of Health’s master’s thesis from 2021 has several text similarities with other academic assignments. The minister has said that she has not copied, but replied last night that it was due to an editing error which meant that wording was left in two places. – And then without reference to previous work. It shouldn’t have happened, she writes. Kjerkol writes that on Sunday, together with the co-author of the thesis, she has gone through the textual similarity that the media has pointed out regarding the reproduction of interviews with informants. – The data we base ourselves on in the thesis has been gathered through interviews with our informants, analyzed by us, and the discussion and conclusions are ours, writes Kjerkol. Kjerkol has also attached an anonymous response from one of the informants in the thesis who confirms having read the master’s thesis and recognizes his contributions to the master’s thesis. When it comes to the method and theory descriptions, Kjerkol writes that they have used the same method as previous tasks and gone to the same primary sources and used the same source references. – Where our method and theory descriptions are similar to previous assignments, this should be stated in the reference list. Nord University has said that they will look into the matter, and it is natural for us to have further dialogue with them, writes Kjerkol.
