What happens to a complaint

The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman has clear guidance on how it deals with complaints.

Our role is to consider complaints that government departments, a range of other public bodies in the UK, and the NHS in England, have not acted properly or fairly or have provided a poor service.

PHSO’s aim is to provide an independent, high quality complaint handling service that rights individual wrongs, drives improvements in public services and informs public policy.
