An analysis has been carried out on the extent and character of patient complaints regarding physicians' conduct, received by the Danish Parliament's Ombudsman during the period 1983-1993. Only a few of the complaints to the Ombudsman are treated completely or partially, because the Ombudsman only examines the administrative handling of the case, and declines to consider the medical opinion. The consequences of the actions chosen by the Ombudsman, regarding ensuring patients' rights, are discussed. In the light of the establishment of more local patient ombudsman systems, there is an ongoing discussion as to just how effective these will be to ensure the legal rights of patients. The possibility of establishing a national patient ombudsman is also discussed.
对丹麦议会监察员在1983年至1993年期间收到的关于医生行为的患者投诉的范围和性质进行了分析。提交给监察员的投诉中只有少数得到了全部或部分处理，因为监察员只审查案件的行政处理情况，而拒绝考虑医学意见。讨论了监察员所采取行动在保障患者权利方面的后果。鉴于建立了更多地方患者监察员制度，对于这些制度在保障患者合法权利方面的有效性正在进行讨论。还讨论了设立全国患者监察员的可能性。
