During this time we have helped address all kinds of complaints and concerns that the general public have wished to raise with the NHS. NHS Lanarkshire is such a wide and varied organisation, it can be difficult for clients to know how to raise a concern, who to raise it with and how to convey their concerns. Therefore the Independent Advice & Support Service has proven invaluable to the clients who have used it. We assist clients who wish to raise a complaint or a concern regarding any aspect of care or services provided by NHS Lanarkshire. We have assisted our clients with issues such as lost property whilst in hospital, to the more serious issues involving serious illness and bereavement. The service always promotes local resolution as a first step; many concerns are resolved by simply making staff aware of concerns and worries. As the Independent Advice Support Service is part of the Citizens Advice Bureau, we can also assist clients with other issues that may be impacting on their health, such as benefits, dept, housing, and employment ect. The service can be assessed by contacting any Lanarkshire Citizens Advice Bureau. The service has successful assisted many clients navigate the NHS Lanarkshire complaints procedure with a positive outcome. However if the client remains dissatisfied with the response we also offer advice assistance in taking the complaint to the SPSO.
