How do I make a complaint?

Wherever possible, you should tell someone close to the cause of your complaint for example, a doctor, nurse, or receptionist. In many cases the problem can be sorted out straight away.

If you have issues that you would like to be resolved rather than make a formal complaint you can contact the Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS) on 0800 328 2941. PALS provide support, information and advice to service users and carers to assist in resolving issues and concerns that may arise during your contact with the Trust.

If you want the issue dealt with through the formal procedure, you should contact the Complaints Department:

Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust
V7 Building
Kings Business Park
Prescot
L34 1PJ

Tel 0151 472 4002
Email: complaints@merseycare.nhs.uk
