The Health Advice Centre will deal with any initial complaint or concern in an informal manner. If a complaint cannot be dealt with satisfactorily on an informal basis, the Health Advice Centre will inform you about its internal complaints procedure, and also how to contact the Information Commissioner if you wish to do so. The Health Advice Centre will also explain that although you cannot apply to the Commissioner for a decision until the Trust's Complaints Procedure has been exhausted, the Commissioner might investigate the matter at his or her discretion.

All complaints at this stage will normally be dealt with within 28 days. '

If you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact the Information Governance Department.

Yours sincerely
