Hatherton Centre, Stafford: Body Search protocol
Dear South Staffordshire and Shropshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust,
Hello to you,
I ask this question of the manager / executive officer responsible for the running of the Hatherton Centre, Stafford.
This is regards the matter of the body searching of patients, or on rare occasions, visitors, or even more rarely still, their professional visitors.
Having just Googled "Searching of Service Users", I find there are many excellent NHS Trusts whose websites offer comprehensive information about the above subject. And a lot more besides.
Regrettably, your website is not one of them.
1. Who is the director in charge of Hatherton Centre?
2. Are there any plans (at this time of writing), to upgrade your website to include the information I seek? (Preferably in PDF format, due to the amount of information I would expect to find).
3. Again, specifically about the Hatherton Centre, Stafford, this question is about the number of complaints by patients or their supporters. Past three years figures, if you can.
*The number of complaints by year (past 3 years).
*Number of those complaints resolved at local level.
*Average time of resolving complaints at local level.
*How many complaints were not resolved locally?
*How many complaints were withdrawn?
*What were the typical, cited reasons for withdrawing those complaints?
*What percentage of complaints are via PALS?
*What percentage of complainants used an advocate?
best regards to you
Mohammed Ahmed
