Complaints function under the Disability Act 2005

This page provides information on how to contact the National Cancer Registry's Complaints Officer and how to make a complaint under the Disability Act.

The Complaints Officer responds to complaints made under section 38 of the Disability Act 2005 about the National Cancer Registry’s possible failure to comply with sections 25, 26, 27, 28 or 29 of the Disability Act 2005. To help the National Cancer Registry’s Complaints Officer respond to your complaint, it must be in writing and sent by email or post.

You or a person on your behalf can make a complaint. Persons who can make a complaint on your behalf are:

  • a guardian or a person acting in loco parentis to that person,
  • a legal representative,
  • a personal advocate, selected by the Citizens Information Board to represent that person, or
