The first time I asked for the forms at the National Police, on behalf of a victim of crime who was having problems making a crime report, the police said they did not have them. When I said should I now call the Policia Local, the Comisario (the chief at the station) came down to put things right immediately. He was very concerned and did not want a complaint recorded against his station.
So do not under estimate the system.
Of course a public concern like a hospital would of course have the forms, just as the police did, albeit that might be a little reluctant to produce them. By showing you know how the system works, I am sure they will jump to attention and resolve your grievance.
PS I have previous posted who one completes the forms and the process entailed.
