Individual experiences
Members of the Committee thank those who have provided a submission to the Inquiry.

However, the Committee cannot conduct investigations into specific matters. Such matters of this nature can be referred to the Health Complaints Commissioner at 1800 001 170 or health.complaints@ombudsman.tas.gov.au.
