Right to Respond

As part of our commitment to providing an honest and transparent view of health and social care services, Healthwatch Birmingham encourages providers to respond to comments the public have left.

Alongside ensuring providers can have a fair say in discussions about their services, replying to reviews demonstrates evidence of responding to patient feedback for the CQC, who regularly monitor our Feedback Centre. It is also an effective way to recruit service users for any wider engagement work at your organisation.

Guidelines for provider responses:

  • Keep language appropriate and civil
  • Remain professional and treat people’s comments fairly
  • Engage with the content of the review by addressing specific points and avoid cut and pasting a standard response
  • Don’t disclose the service user’s personal details or any potentially identifying information
  • Where appropriate leave organisational contact details e.g PALS or patient engagement teams for people to get further information

Remember: your response will be seen by everyone who uses the Feedback Centre, not just the original reviewer. All responses are moderated in accordance with our moderation policy.

For full terms and conditions, including a guide to how right to reply works for service providers download this guide.

Original feedback for

Royal Orthopaedic Hospital



No follow up check ups

Had a fall and broke my hip at the time of covid they wouldn't take me at the hospital and transferred me to Royal Orthopaedic Hospital. Ended up staying there. Lovely hospital but not nice when you can't see family. Hospital was very clean. Aftercare was not very good. If it was up to them, there was no follow up with check ups on the hip. No follows up no checks at home. Could do with checks on my hip for my own piece of mind.
