When should you contact the GGD Haaglanden?

Please contact GGD Haaglanden if you wish to report an incident related to the provision of support. You can do so if you yourself are receiving support under the Wmo, or if you are a family member, informal caregiver, or support worker for someone who is receiving support. This may involve incidents of violence, an unexpected death, a suicide (or attempted suicide), serious and/or permanent physical injury, mental distress, serious inappropriate behavior, or intimidating behavior. If you suspect that the incident was caused by a shortcoming in the supportprovided, please visit theGGD Haaglanden website.

If anything other than what is described above has occurred in your interactions with your healthcare provider, please feel free to contact your healthcare provider or the municipality.
