About this statute

A Swedish-language provision says there is an older ombudsman attached to the Office of the Non-Discrimination Ombudsman, and that the ombudsman is independent in its work. The Council of State appoints the older ombudsman for up to five years at a time, and the appointed ombudsman is exempt from other duties while serving. Äldreombudsmannen must promote the rights of older persons and carry out related monitoring, reporting, information, and cooperation tasks. Äldreombudsmannen has the right to receive needed information free of charge from other authorities, unless secrecy rules say otherwise. Äldreombudsmannen ska lämna en årlig berättelse till statsrådet och en berättelse till riksdagen vart fjärde år.
