Has anyone used a Medical Negligence Legal Firm? I put in a formal complaint 3 months ago to my local Health Board after a procedure and have just had a response which leaves me furious. I don’t want financial compensation, simply justice and honesty. I need legal advice but don’t know where to try. I’d be very grateful for any advice. Thanks

I would tell them you want xyz/info and are giving them a chance to explain befote you take it to the health ombudsman.

I would give them, say, 14 days and then make a formal complaint to the ombudsman.

I agree

I have known several people who have tried to sue the NHS and all of them gave up after many years. I can’t help thinking that it’s what the NHS banks on.
If you do decide to go down the No Win No Fee route do be careful as there are often hidden costs such as you having to take out insurance in case you lose! Do
go through any paperwork with a fine tooth comb.

Oh whoops didn’t notice the date. I bet the original poster is still waiting for a reply from the NHS though!
