The report concerns the National Social Appeals Board’s supervision and use of reactions in cases of breaches of the law.
The purpose of the study is to assess whether the National Social Appeals Board carries out satisfactory supervision of municipalities and regions in the social sector. Rigsrevisionen answers the following questions in the report:
- Does the National Social Appeals Board plan and carry out satisfactory supervision of municipalities and regions in the social sector?
- Does the National Social Appeals Board use the reactions provided for in the legislation in the social sector?
Rigsrevisionen assesses that the National Social Appeals Board’s supervision of municipalities and regions in the social sector is not satisfactory. The supervision is characterised by long case processing times. In addition, the supervisory unit does not work systematically to obtain documentation and follow up on cases. The consequence is that municipalities and regions may continue unlawful practices for extended periods, which undermines citizens’ legal rights.
Rigsrevisionen initiated the study in August 2024 at the request of the Danish Public Accounts Committee.
