If we’ve already investigated your complaint, you can let us know if you are still unsatisfied. We can meet with you to explain our findings, or to understand any additional concerns you have. If you ask us to, we can check that the complaint was investigated in line with our complaints policy and healthcare standards.
If you are still unhappy, we’ll tell you about your next steps in our response letter. This would usually be raising the concern with the relevant ombudsman.
Very occasionally, if you continue to be dissatisfied but we do not believe there is anything else we can do, we will write to you to let you know and what this means for you.
