When a patient believes their HC provider's actions are a breach of their ethical rights, a complaint can be made to the ❌. The HDC complaints enter a triage system.
There is a 'preliminary’ assessment: either “No ❌ Action” or...
1. A referral to another agency: Compensation: ❌; Competence: ❌ (Nursing, Medical, Pharmacy Council etc))
2. Refer to: ❌
An ❌ is then carried out by the referred party.
If a breach of the code is found:
1. Recommendation (eg ❌), ❌ to Prof Council (Nursing, Medical, Pharmacy Council etc
2. Or, rarely, refer to Director of ❌ (rare) which may lay charges in:
❌ Tribunal, ❌ Review Tribunal, or take no further action.
