Health service complaints

Health Service Complaints

Complaints, comments and suggestions for health services.  Health services and organisations are keen to hear the views of service users, carers and the local community about their experience of services provided.

Telling us your views, whether it be a comment or a complaint, helps us to know what we are doing well, learn lessons from mistakes, and prevent them happening to anyone else.

The main health services and organisations in Tower Hamlets are:

1. Barts Health NHS Trust, which covers:

2. East London NHS Foundation Trust, which provides mental health services, including Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services

3. General Practices (GPs), Dentists, Pharmacies and Optometrists

4. Tower Hamlets Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), which is responsible for planning, buying and monitoring (a process known as commissioning) a range of local health services.  Tower Hamlets CCG is responsible for commissioning most hospital, community-based and mental health services.  A national body called NHS England is responsible for commissioning GP and specialist services and the local council looks after public health services.
