We acknowledge your complaint within three working days and explain how we will look into it.
We aim to investigate fully and give you a written response within ten working days.
If we need longer, for example because a clinician involved in your care is away, we explain why and keep you updated until the matter is resolved.
If you are unhappy with our response, you can ask an independent body to review your complaint. Which one depends on the type of treatment you received.
Contact NHS England or your local Integrated Care Board (ICB). If you remain unhappy after their review, the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman can consider your case at ombudsman.org.uk.
