How to request a supervisory case
If you believe that your treatment or care was not as it should have been, you can ask the County Governor to initiate a supervisory case.
Explain what happened
Write a letter in which you include information about yourself, the person/organisation you are appealing against, and what happened.
About you
Start by stating your name, address and telephone number.
If you are appealing on behalf of someone else, you should also include the name and contact details of the person concerned. You should also enclose your power of attorney.
About the person/organisation you are appealing against
A supervisory case may concern an organisation or an individual person.
If you wish to appeal regarding your GP, community nurse, nursing home, nursing home or other municipal service, please state the service that your appeal concerns.
If you do not receive the services you believe you are entitled to at a hospital, you should state the part of the hospital that your appeal concerns, e.g.:
- clinic
- department
- ward
If the case concerns an individual, you should also state the person's name and position.
About what happened
