Health Rights Information Scotland Have your say!
HRIS have launched a new leaflet which aims to help young people in Scotland have more say about their health care and treatment. The leaflet, ‘Have your Say!’ is aimed at children and young people. It is the third in a series that includes ‘Confidentiality’ and ‘Consent for under16s’. ‘Have your say!’ encourages young people to let the NHS know how they’re being treated. It also explains how to make a complaint about the NHS if they feel they have been treated unfairly.
The leaflet makes it clear that NHS staff have a duty to take the needs of children and young people seriously, whether they are making a suggestion or a complaint. It goes on to explain:
- what the rights of young people are
- who to speak to if they have a suggestion or complaint
- how the NHS deals with complaints, and
- who can help them have their say.
We collaborated closely with HRIS from the start and are please to have been included in the final publication.
