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 too, 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.
If you don’t feel your complaint has been resolved after these steps, please visit mygov.scot for details of who to contact.
