The steps you must take before submitting a complaint
1
Contact RSH
Is managed by the team at RSH to which the complaint relates. You should complain no later than 3 months after you became aware of the problem, or should reasonably have become aware of it.
2
Contact RSH legal services team
If you’re unhappy with the way RSH handled your complaint at stage 1 you can escalate it to their legal services team as an independent review of the original complaint. This should be within 3 months of receiving a response to stage 1.
3
Contact CEDR
If you’re still unhappy with RSH’s response you can refer it to us and we will carry out an independent review. Complaints that are referred to CEDR later than 3 months after the RSH's final response to the complaint cannot be dealt with. If you are still not satisfied, you can ask your MP to take your complaint to the independent Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman to review the handling of your complaint.
