It may seem a little odd that hospital managers have welcomed an increase in complaints against the NHS Trust.
They say it is all about being open and honest, and that they are trying to encourage feedback from patients.
That is a positive move, of course, and something that we would welcome.
It is crucial, however, that the NHS Trust does as much as it can to ensure the complaints are acted on and that the figures are reduced in the long term.
