Complaints, Compliments and Feedback

If you are unhappy about the service you have received from Orkney Health and Care (OHAC), or anything we have done or not done, we want to know about it. If you have a complaint about the Orkney Integration Joint Board (IJB) please go to the IJB Complaints Handling Procedure in the 'Related Downloads' section of this page.

We would also like to know if we have done something you like so we can do it again or if you have any ideas about how OHAC can make life better for you or people in Orkney.

How can I make a compliment, complaint or provide feedback?
