  • Northern Lincolnshire & Goole NHS Foundation Trust (18 013 579a)

    Statement Upheld Hospital acute services 13-Mar-2020

    Summary: The Ombudsmen find fault by the Trust, in that it sent Mr M’s follow-up appointment letters to the wrong address and as a result he was discharged from follow-up care. This meant Mr M did not have the opportunity to discuss his care with a specialist. However the Ombudsmen find it was reasonable of the Trust and Council not to refer Mr M for continuing healthcare, and that he was provided with stroke rehabilitation in line with the relevant standards and guidance.

  • Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust (19 003 492b)

    Statement Not upheld Hospital acute services 04-Mar-2020

    Summary: Ms X complained that Walsall Metropolitan Council, Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust and Pleck Health Centre failed to meet safeguarding duties in respect of her late mother, Mrs Y. The agencies responded appropriately to safeguarding alerts and made best interest decisions about Mrs Y’s care that considered relevant evidence, including the difference of views amongst family members. The Council was at fault for not feeding back the outcome of its safeguarding investigation to the Pleck Health Centre. This did not cause injustice.

  • Essex Partnership University Foundation Trust (19 015 337a)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Hospital acute services 06-Feb-2020

    Summary: The Ombudsmen will not investigate Mrs X’s complaint. The Ombudsmen consider Mrs X’s complaint about events at Essex Partnership University Foundation Trust in 2017 is late, and we could not say the Trust should have detained Mr Y in 2017 and 2019. Also, the Ombudsmen do not consider there is a significant injustice to Mrs X to warrant an investigation of Southend Clinical Commissioning Group’s continuing healthcare assessment of Mr Y.
