Aquarius ward

Story from nhs.uk

"Aquarius ward"

About: Springfield University Hospital (London)

My daughter was admitted back in February only for a weekend and still in there now. It's completely changed her for the worst. They don't listen to the parents. Send a letter of complaint still not heard anything. The worst hospital ever.

Dear Anonymous, further to my previous response I thought it might be useful to provide some information about the Trust complaints process. We aim to acknowledge all formal complaints within 3 working days of receipt and to respond fully within 25 working days. If we are unable to respond within this timescale then we ensure that complainants are kept fully updated on our investigation. In April 2014 we responded to 100% of complaints within 25 working days and we are on track to do the same in May 2014. When a complaint is received by the Trust an investigating officer (one of the patient experience leads) will be allocated and will make telephone contact with the complainant within 10 days in order to further discuss the details of the complaint.

I hope that this information is helpful.

Kind regards

Jane Healey, Patient Experience Lead
