LANSING, Mich. — Sen. Michael Webber, R-Rochester Hills, on Tuesday issued the following statement after testimony from Office of Recipient Rights Director Raymie Postema before the House Oversight Subcommittee on Child Welfare System regarding an audit he requested on how the ORR handles patient complaints and the department’s audit compliance plan:

“It is very clear that the Office of Recipient Rights is failing to protect our most vulnerable seeking mental health care. Director Postema’s testimony today failed to demonstrate meaningful changes to restore public trust in the patient complaint system.

“I will not stop fighting until every family can be confident their loved ones are safe, those responsible are held accountable, and this agency can prove it can protect the kids in its care.”
