FAQs

Is it possible to consult anonymously?

We will also ask you anonymous consultation. However, if you do not know the specifics, you may not be able to ask facilities, offices, or ward offices to respond.

I don't want to talk directly to the complainant, so I'd like you to speak instead.

The Committee does not act as a so-called "substitute".
Coordinate with both sides so that the consultant and the office can communicate better.

Can I talk about anything about welfare and health services?
