How do I make a complaint about the NHS?
The NHS complaints process was paused during the Coronavirus pandemic, but from today NHS England has advised NHS hospitals and services that unless there are exceptional circumstances, their complaints processes must restart.
The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman (PHSO) will also start accepting new health complaints and progressing existing ones from today (1st July).
NHS England is discussing with the PHSO and the Department of Health and Social Care the threshold should the NHS need to consider another pause in the event of a second wave either locally or nationally of COVID-19.
