The committee ensures that users’ rights are respected and facilitates their procedures. It ensures that all users are informed of the means of appeal and conciliation available to them.
To this end, all complaints and claims expressed by users or their relatives are made available to it by the authorisation holder.
Managers’ responses to these complaints and claims are accompanied by information about the possibility of referring the matter to the committee.
The committee examines the complaints and claims referred to it by the authorisation holder or the person concerned. The mediator(s) concerned will meet with the person lodging the complaint or claim and report back to the committee. A copy of this report is sent to the complainant.
After hearing the author of the complaint or grievance, if it deems it appropriate, the committee makes recommendations with a view to resolving the dispute or informing the person concerned of the conciliation or appeal procedures available to him or her. It may also issue a reasoned opinion in favour of closing the case.
Within eight days of the meeting, the authorisation holder responds to the person lodging the complaint or claim and attaches the committee’s opinion to the letter.
