Take it further

If you were to be dissatisfied with the response from the surgery giving time for them to look into the complaint, then you would have the right to refer your complaint to the Health Service Ombudsman. They would require a clear statement of what issues remained outstanding.

Referral to the Health Service Ombudsman should be made direct to the address given below:

Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman
Millbank Tower, Millbank, London SW1P 4QP

Helpline: 0845 015 4033
Online: Ombudsman website

 

However, before considering taking this step, we hope you would let us know what aspect of the complaint has not been dealt with satisfactorily and provide an opportunity for us to consider whether there is anything further that could be done locally to resolve matters.
