How we’ll respond
We take all complaints seriously and we aim to resolve them with you, as quickly as possible. We work to NHS standards in terms of resolving complaints.
- Within 5 working days: we aim to acknowledge your complaint and let you know the next steps we plan to take. We aim to resolve your complaint within this timeframe, if we can.
- Within 21 working days: if we need to ask a doctor to review your complaint, it’ll take us a little longer to investigate it. We’ll let you know if this is the case for you.
