We aim to acknowledge complaints in writing (email or letter) within three working days of receipt and to resolve any concern efficiently and effectively within a timescale agreed with you. It is very helpful if you can provide us with a telephone number when you contact us so that we can talk to you about your feedback and agree the best way forward.

Our complaints policy can be found here.

Unfortunately, we are unable to investigate concerns relating to organisations that provide healthcare services. These include:

  • GPs, dentists, pharmacists and opticians
  • Gloucestershire NHS Trusts (Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust)
  • Patient Transport providers
  • NHS 111 services
  • Private providers

It is the responsibility of the service you have concerns about to investigate and address your issues directly. Please refer to the relevant section below:
