answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/03/2017 answer text <p>The duties on local authorities in relation to oral health, including oral health promotion are set out in the NHS Bodies and Local Authorities (Partnership Arrangements, Care Trusts, Public Health and Local Healthwatch) Regulations 2012 (<a href="http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2012/3094/pdfs/uksi_20123094_en.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2012/3094/pdfs/uksi_20123094_en.pdf</a>). The Regulations make specific provision for authorities to operate a complaints system in relation to their public health functions. This includes a requirement to compile an annual report of complaints about public health functions, which must be publicly available.</p><p>This statutory framework therefore establishes at the local level, provision for the public to complain about local authority public health matters, and require local authorities to produce an annual report of complaints which must be available to the public. This is consistent with Government policy that local government is held to account at the local level by its electorate.</p><p>Should a local authority fail to comply with its statutory duties, it is for the electorate to hold their local authority to account, either through the ballot box or through judicial review. The Local Government Ombudsman can investigate complaints of maladministration in local authorities, and recommend redress for individuals.</p> answering member constituency Nuneaton answering member printed Mr Marcus Jones question first answered 20/03/2017 15:59:48 answering member 4024 label Biography information for Mr Marcus Jones
