PALS activity
Our Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS) dealt informally with 5,991 concerns raised during 2018/19.
This was almost exactly the same level of activity as was seen in 2017/18.
2014/15 | 2015/16 | 2016/17 | 2017/18 | 2018/19 | |
PALS cases | 3,627 | 4,582 | 5,061 | 5,990 | 5,991 |
Informal enquiries | 8,939 | 7,426 | 8,914 | 9,108 | 2,873 |
In 2018/19 we stopped recording all on-the-spot general advice requests to give our PALS team members more time to deal with patients’ concerns.
Our Patient Experience Annual Reports are published on this website and in-year activity is reported to meetings of the Trust Board.
