Feedback & Complaints Handling

The request was successful.

Dear Frimley Park Hospital NHS Foundation Trust,

How are complaints, complements and feedback handled? This data might be by obtained by means such as email, phone, letter, piece of paper in hospital reception, etc etc.

1) Is there a central place where this data is collated (e.g. a spreadsheet, dedicated software package, paper based (e.g. folders in a filing cabinet) or something else (please specify if possible))?

2) Are there dedicated staff for this purpose? If so how many staff are there?

3) Is this data handled on-site or is it subcontracted/held off site?

4) Are complaints & feedback collated and then reported to authorised people, such as the trusts board or senior managers?

5) Who is in charge of complaints and feedback, if anyone?

6) Is there a standard procedure to follow if complaints and feedback data is obtained?

7) If you have any costings at all for complaints & feedback then that would be useful (staff costs, computer & software costs, storage costs, legals costs, search costs, report compilation costs, etc)?

I understand that there is time and costs involved in any FOI request. Therefore if any part of this is difficult or unclear, please contact me so we can simplify the request. Any info is useful and better than no info!

Yours faithfully,

Mr Batstone

FOI, Frimley Park Hospital NHS Foundation Trust
