Article 6 Investigation of complaints by Health Service Commissioner

A complaint made under the Health Service Commissioners Act 1993^f1 to the Health Service Commissioner for England in relation to any hospital, establishment or facility managed by any of the relevant Special Authorities, whether made before, on or after the material date, may be investigated by that Commissioner, notwithstanding the abolition of the relevant Special Authority, as if the complaint had been made in relation to the NHS trust or District Health Authority managing that hospital establishment or facility.

The Health Service Commissioner for England, where he conducts such an investigation, shall send a report of the result of his investigation to that NHS trust or District Health Authority and to the relevant Regional Authority.
