Strengthen consumer advice and care law counseling
The Left wants to give the state's consumer advice center lasting, adequate staffing and funding. In addition, an independent office for care law is to be set up, because contracts and rules in long-term care are said to be hard for those affected and their relatives to understand.
The Left wants to strengthen the consumer advice center. People get advice there, for example in disputes with companies. The advice should be available across the state. There should be a separate advice office for questions about care.
Advice is to be offered in person, by phone and online. Consumer education and easy-to-understand information are to be expanded for every age group. The care law office is to advise on contracts, complaints and care questions. Problems in the care market are to be spotted early, and people in need of care and their relatives are to get help in enforcing their entitlements.
