About us
We currently have around 475 employees based at our two sites in London (Millbank) and Manchester.
Complaints about government departments and other public organisations are referred to us through MPs, while those about the NHS in England are usually received directly from complainants. During the 2015-16 business year, we handled 29,046 cases and investigated or resolved 4,085 cases. In this period, the largest numbers of parliamentary complaints were about the Department for Work and Pensions, the Ministry of Justice, HM Revenue and Customs and the Home Office. The largest proportion of health complaints were about NHS hospital, specialist and teaching trusts, GPs and mental health, social care and learning disability Trusts.
When an investigation leads to an upheld complaint, we seek appropriate redress for any unremedied injustice or hardship suffered by the complainant. This may involve an explanation of what went wrong, an apology, changes in procedures to prevent problems recurring and, where appropriate, a payment.
