Health Consumer Services Trust
We are a group of trained, professional and approachable people who provide a free and confidential service for consumers who are concerned about the health care service they have received. Sometimes talking to your health professional can be difficult. When you’re unwell or concerned or even just confused it helps to have someone independent to call on. Our service can help. We can write letters or make phone calls on your behalf, advise you about complaints procedures, we can come with you to meetings to support you with your complaint
