The Health Service Executive (HSE) operates a formal complaints procedure, where a service user who is not satisfied with the service received may make a complaint to the HSE. Details of how to make a complaint and how complaints are managed can be found in "Your Service, Your Say", on the HSE website at www.hse.ie. The Child and Family Agency has been established since January 1^st 2014 and I am advised that the Agency is at this time continuing to use the HSE’s complaints mechanism. If a person is not satisfied with the outcome of the HSE's review of the complaint, he/she may request an independent review of the complaint from the Office of the Ombudsman or Ombudsman for Children.
