Blog: New complaints process helps target resources to people who may be at risk
By Marie Paterson, Service Manager Complaints and Inspection
The Care Inspectorate is here to ensure that people receive safe, high-quality, compassionate care that meets their needs and promotes their rights and choices. Providing a clear and easily accessible procedure for people to raise any concerns is an essential part of our duties as a scrutiny and improvement body.
Most care in Scotland is good, but sometimes things do go wrong. We really value the concerns that people raise with us. First and foremost, we can often help things to improve for the people who raise concerns with us.
