A Dental Practice in the Grampian NHS Board area

SPSO (Scottish Public Services Ombudsman) Not Upheld Reference 201103689 Sector Health Category lists (incl difficulty registering and removal from lists) Decided 01 May 2012

Full decision

Summary

Miss C complained that her dentist had removed her from the dental practice's list of patients. However, dentists can do this, as long as they give three months' notice to the patient (unless the patient has shown violence). As the dentist had given adequate notice, there were no grounds for us to uphold the complaint.
