NHS Greater Huddersfield CCG complaints – listening and learning 

We take all complaints very seriously and wherever possible we use them to learn lessons, make changes and improve the services we commission.

Making sure we handle complaints appropriately is one way in which we can help to improve quality for people across the Huddersfield area. Learning from complaints helps all the organisations involved in patient care to continually improve the services they provide and give the best experience for all their patients.

If you are unhappy with the service that you have received from an NHS service in Huddersfield and you want to make a complaint, please email our customer information and complaints officer at:

We appreciate that NHS structures can be very confusing and it is not always easy to know who you should tell about your complaint.  Below is a guide to the various types of care provider and which organisations can manage those complaints.

Please note that we do not commission every health service you might use. If your enquiry is about a GP practice, or registering with a dentist, an organisation called NHS England is responsible for commissioning those services. NHS England has set up a customer contact centre and you can contact them on england.contactus@nhs.net or 0300 311 22 33.  More information can be found on the NHS England website  www.england.nhs.uk/contact-us/complaint/
