Summary
Mrs C complained about care and treatment provided to her late father at University Hospital Crosshouse, and about the board's handling of her complaint. During our investigation the board sent a letter to Mrs C that acknowledged and apologised for their failings, and set out an action plan to remedy the failings. We discussed the letter with Mrs C and, as she was satisfied that the board had resolved her complaints, we agreed to close the file on her complaint. In closing the file, we wrote to the board to express our concerns about the time they took to deal with Mrs C's complaint. While we did not make a formal recommendation, we asked them to provide us with evidence relating to their action plan, which they did.
