The Health Minister supports the new HSC Model Complaints Handling Procedure: “people need to know who to turn to when services fail and be assured their complaints will be taken seriously and acted upon”. We welcome the DoH’s ongoing commitment to stronger complaints handling

Grateful to Philip McGuigan MLA for sponsoring today’s launch of the HSC MCHP at the Long Gallery. His words rightly captured the purpose: “a complaints process is an important tool to use to improve our HSC service”.
