Compliments and complaints

If you are unhappy with the service you have received and would like to make a complaint we have a Complaints Team who will liaise with you at all stages of the investigation and will advise you what changes are made as a result of your complaint, what lessons have been learnt, and how services will be improved.

Making a complaint will not affect any care and treatment you may be receiving and all complaints are dealt with in the strictest confidence.
