Dear Angel babe

Thank you for sharing your father’s experience of the care we provided to him and your subsequent experience when you complained to us. I am really disappointed that we appear to have let you and you father down and I am truly sorry for this.

Can I ask you to contact me to provide some more details and I will personally look into the case and try and resolve the issues for you. I am out of the office after today until Tuesday 22 March but if you could contact me I will get back to you. My contact details are telephone: 0131 314 0003 or email: martinesposito@nhs.net

Take care

Martin.
