Complaining about a Service

You Have the Right to High Quality Services ! 

If you have attended any health service, including a sexual health service and have experienced a poor service, such as:

  • your information may have been shared without your permission
  • you were not seen at a service because you were under 16 and wishing to attend without an adult
  • the staff were not friendly or helpful
  • you did not get seen or treated promptly

You have the right to complain directly to the service itself, or if the service is part of the NHS (such as a GP, a CASH clinic, a Walk-In Centre), you can contact the Patient Advice & Liasion Service (PALS) for that area who will support you confidentially to either make an annonymous comment, or support and advise you to make a formal complaint about that service. 

You can send the Kirklees PALS Service feedback on any NHS Sexual Health Service by clicking here and filling in their on-line feedback form, or you can contact them on:
