- The Service Quality and Complaints Commissioner receives your complaint. He can help you formulate your complaint or ensure that you get the assistance you need.
- He examines your complaint to clearly identify the problem and try to solve it. At this point he asks you for your version of the facts.
- He then gathers information from the other parties involved.
- He intervenes without delay, and in the manner he feels most appropriate, if informed that someone who has made or intends to make a complaint is subjected to any kind reprisal.
- He informs you of the results within 45 days of receiving your complaint. Along with his findings, he proposes solutions to resolve the situation or other recommendations made to management, if appropriate.
- However, if your complaint concerns a professional practising in a health and social services institution, such as a physician, a dentist, a pharmacist or a medical resident, the Commissioner will send it to the medical examiner for special examination. You will be informed if this occurs.
