Right to complain
If you believe that your patient rights have been breached, we encourage you to contact the relevant department as soon as possible. This will allow the department to review its practices. Formal complaints must be made in writing.
If the department has considered your complaint but not changed it's decision, the department must forward your complaint to the County Governor without undue delay.
