Comment or complain
We do all we can to provide good quality health services, but sometimes things don’t go as they should. We welcome people telling us about how we can improve, or make a complaint about the service they have received from Lambeth CCG.
We are also very pleased to receive positive feedback and compliments about our work or the quality of health services you have received as a local resident.
Complaints about GPs, dentists, pharmacists or opticians
If you have a complaint about a GP, dentist, pharmacist or optician that cannot be resolved locally with the practice manager or pharmacist, you should contact NHS England.
