Information about the SPSO

The Scottish Public Services Ombudsman (SPSO) is the final stage for complaints about public services in Scotland.  This includes complaints about the NHS in Scotland.  If you remain dissatisfied with an NHS board or service provider after its complaints process has concluded, you can ask the SPSO to look at your complaint.  The SPSO cannot normally look at complaints:

where you have not gone all the way through the complaints handling procedure

more than 12 months after you became aware of the matter you want to complain about, or

that have been or are being considered in court.
