To send us an enquiry, or register a new complaint, here’s how to get in touch.

Service update in light of Covid-19

In light of the Covid-19 (coronavirus) pandemic we are having to work differently. 

  • Our phone lines are busier than usual. You can call us between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday but it’s likely that you will need to wait to speak to someone. Where possible, please email us or make a complaint online.
  • Please do not send us post at this time, unless you’re unable to contact us in any other way. We have very limited access to our office, so we’re unable to process post in the usual way. 
  • It may take a number of weeks before we’re able to acknowledge receipt of emails, post and complaints submitted online. Please bear with us, we’ll be in touch as soon as we can. 
  • If your complaint has been allocated and you have the contact details of the case handler, you can still contact them directly.

There was already a high demand for our service and inevitably there will be an ongoing impact from Covid-19 on how long things take, but we’re working hard to continue to provide a high-level of service and we’re continuing to resolve complaints. You can read more about timescales once you’ve sent us a complaint on our page how long it takes.

How to complain 

Contact us with an enquiry

If you’re getting in touch about something other than a new complaint, you can contact us in the following ways. 

NHS workers

During the Covid-19 outbreak, we’re offering a specific email for NHS workers to get in touch with us, should they need to do so urgently. This will be handled by a dedicated team, who will be able to work around shift patterns while we’re operating a limited phone service.  

Our timelines

You can find up-to-date information about our general timescales on our “how long it takes” page.

The current situation means that responding to complaints and enquiries might take longer. In particular, it may be several weeks before we’re able to acknowledge post, emails or forms submitted to us online.
