Supervisory obligations of others

All providers of services subject to the supervision of the Welfare Quality and Inspection Authority shall provide services in accordance with the provisions of the standards of the welfare system.

  • active internal control of their activities

The oversight by the Welfare Quality and Inspection Authority does not replace the oversight entrusted to other authorities by law and thus does not relieve other authorities of the filter's obligations to monitor government activities, irrespective of whether the activity is carried out by the authority.
