The Ombudsman’s Principles of Good Complaint Handling set out what we expect from the NHS, and NHS funded providers, when dealing with complaints. Good complaint handling means:

Getting it right
Being customer focused
Being open and accountable
Acting fairly and proportionately
Putting things right, and
Seeking continuous improvement.

The Principles are available here.
