Our Complaints Standards team has launched a new Model Complaints Handling Procedure (MCHP) for health and social care services in Northern Ireland.
This is a major step in our work to improve how complaints are handled across the sector. The new MCHP sets out clear stages, timescales and expectations for service providers and complainants.
