Making a difference
How your complaints make a difference
We understand that making a complaint can seem daunting, but we try to make it as easy for you as possible. We also understand that people may often wonder whether it is worth complaining and what difference it makes. At C&I we are committed to using the feedback that we get from your concerns and complaints to improve our services and learn lessons. If your complaint is upheld, you should expect a full apology from us and an explanation of why things went wrong. You should also expect us to let you know what actions will be taken to stop the same thing happening again, either to yourself or other service users.
- Following concerns about answerphone messages not being up to date, posters have been displayed giving clear instructions for staff about how to update their messages.
- Staff have been reminded that next of kin details must be entered in the appropriate section of the electronic records system so that they are easily accessible in the event of an incident.
- Processes and staffing have been reviewed within teams where there were long waits for medical reviews, with the aim of reducing waiting times.
