‘I would like to make a complaint and see if I may be eligible for compensation as I believe my mental health medication has left me with a weak heart, as diagnosed and supported by an NHS cardiology doctor.  I would like to know why I was left on this drug for so long - 20 years - when it could create serious problems for my heart, which it has. I want the medication reduced and stopped now as quickly as possible.’

‘I am really concerned for my mum as she has a DNR (do not resuscitate) on her records which neither my mum nor the family knew anything about. We do not want this actioned if anything happens to mum, who has been in hospital but is now home waiting for a hip operation so is currently bed bound. We are in the process of gaining POA (Power of Attorney) but worried about this DNR.’
