Making a complaint to the BOB ICB

As a commissioner we can look into complaints about the services we commission. The person making the complaint has a choice of complaining either to the provider of the service, or to us as the commissioner of the service. 

When a complaint is made to us about a service we commission, we will determine how best to handle the complaint in discussion with the person making the complaint.

We will discuss whether it is best dealt with by either the provider of the service or us as the commissioner of the service. When we agree the complaint is best dealt with by the provider of the service, we will seek consent from the person making the complaint to forward the complaint to the provider of the service.

If you would like to discuss your best course of action or make a complaint about the BOB ICB please call the relevant number below and we will be happy to assist you.
