  • Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust - Wexham Park Hospital (23 007 967a)

    Statement Not upheld Hospital acute services 01-Aug-2024

    Summary: We consider Buckinghamshire County Council and Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust were not at fault for the delay discharging Mr P from hospital. However, the Council did not appropriately update Mr P’s care and support plan following its assessment. While that did not cause Mr P an injustice, the Council should take action to reduce any potential impact on others.

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Mental health services 28-Jul-2024

    Summary: Mr X complains about the way Devon County Council and Devon Partnership NHS Trust acted in relation to a hospital detention. We will not investigate this complaint. This is because an investigation is unlikely to find fault in the organisations’ actions.

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Community hospital services 28-Jul-2024

    Summary: We will not investigate a complaint about how a Trust and a Council dealt with a complaint about the care provided to the complainant’s brother.
