"Complaints procedure"

About: Ninewells Hospital

(as a service user),

My dad submitted a complaint in 2019, then passed away in early 2020 before any response was provided to this. I took this on on his behalf and had a very upsetting meeting in Sept 2020 but had hoped to get some resolution for this following the meeting. I have heard nothing since. 5 months later with no update, no response or minutes from the meeting, not even a phone call or email to advise of the progress. Feel so distressed that this is still ongoing and once again care and communication severely lacking. I have had to try and chase this up to be told the minutes of the meeting have yet to be authorised for release.

Dear lioneh59

Thank you very much for sharing your feedback. I am the interim team lead of the Complaints and Feedback Team and I am very sorry to hear of your experience. This is clearly a very distressing time for you, which has been exacerbated by a lack of communication. The communication and delay you describe falls far short of what we would aim for and I am sorry for the additional worry caused. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with the Complaints and Feedback Team on 0800 0275507 to discuss your concerns in more detail.


Dawn Harrison.
