How can the Customer Contact Centre help me?  

We’re here to support patients and their representatives with enquiries,
concerns or complaints about primary care.  Primary care includes local
healthcare services such as GPs, dentists, opticians and pharmacies.  

We can also help with enquiries, concerns, or complaints about healthcare
in prison, military healthcare and some specialised services that support
people with a range of rare and complex conditions.   

You may be able to find the answer you are looking for in our Frequently
Asked Questions:

Does the NHS England Customer Contact Centre provide medical advice?  

No. Our advisors are not clinically trained and are unable to provide
medical advice.   

For help from a GP, visit your GP surgery’s website, use an [6]online
service to contact your GP, or call the surgery.   

For urgent medical help, use the [7]NHS 111 online service, or call 111 if
you are unable to get help online. For life-threatening emergencies, call
999 for an ambulance.  

There is more information about getting medical help on the [8]NHS
website.  

What if I have an enquiry or complaint about hospital care, NHS 111 or
out-of-hours GP services?  

If your enquiry or complaint is about secondary care, this includes
hospitals, NHS 111, mental health services, out-of-hours services and
community services such as district nursing, you will need to contact the
organisation that provided the service.   

All hospitals have a Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS):  

[9]https://www.nhs.uk/common-health-questio....
  

Alternatively, you can contact your local Clinical Commissioning Group
(CCG). You can find their contact details on the NHS website:  

[10]https://www.nhs.uk/Service-Search/Clinic...

How do I report a change of name or address?  

You should report a change of name or address to your GP practice so they
can update their records. If your new address is outside the practice’s
catchment area you may be asked to register with a new GP practice.  

You should also advise your dentist or optician of a change of name or
address as they keep their own records.
Where can I find further information about NHS England and NHS
Improvement?

Subject: Freedom of Information request - Statistics and information on
how people with disabilities are treated

Dear NHS England,

My name is Richard Clarke and I work for an advocacy network called
Solihull action through advocacy as a link worker. We are linked to
various other advocacy groups throughout the west midlands and we are
looking at trying to get a national picture of how the disabled are
treated within hospitals and care homes. We are obviously not looking to
hear individuals private stories but are looking for statistics such as
which hospitals have specialist nurses for the disabled, the rate of
complaints among the disabled and any other relevant issues. I look
forward to receiving your reply.

Yours faithfully,

Richard Clarke
