We have had some techical issues this week which stopped our MyOIA complaints portal from working.
We are really sorry about this, and know it’s frustrating when things don’t work.
Usually complaints must be submitted within a year of the date on the Completion of Procedures letter from your provider. Given the issues though, we have set a new deadline; if you want to bring a complaint and you have a Completion of Procedures letter dated between 3-17 July 2025, we will accept it until 31 July 2026.
Just to be clear, this was not a hack of our systems, and all data we hold is safe and secure.
Contact us on enquiries@oiahe.org.uk if you need to.
