We also regularly review our data by providing reports that we ask you to check to ensure that we have the most up to date details.

Regular Customer Review meetings will be scheduled to enable any issues to be discussed.

In addition, the control centre completes daily courtesy calls to ensure end users are satisfied and feeling better following our need to call a Doctor or Ambulance on their behalf, the previous day.
