  • Barchester Healthcare Homes Limited (24 022 010)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Residential care 04-Jun-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about a Care Provider deregistering a temporary resident from their usual Doctors practice. The Care Provider has explained why this happened. It has apologised for not telling the complainant, which caused surprise, worry and frustration when they tried to get their medication. It also caused time and trouble having to reregister. The Care Provider sent flowers and offered a discount off a future stay. It is unlikely an Ombudsman investigation would achieve anything further. The Care Provider’s actions are sufficient to acknowledge the impact.

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 04-Jun-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Mrs X’s complaint about the decision to limit the ways in which she can contact her local council. This is because there is not enough evidence of fault to warrant an investigation.

  • Birmingham City Council (24 022 318)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Refuse and recycling 04-Jun-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about missed bin collections before and during industrial action. We have no jurisdiction to investigate matters which affect all or most people in the Council’s area, and collections missed before the action did not cause the complainant a significant enough injustice.

  • Portsmouth City Council (24 023 095)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Alternative provision 04-Jun-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint that the Council has made unreasonable demands for evidence regarding the complainant’s daughter’s Elective Home Education and has failed to respond reasonably to his questions. This is because investigation would achieve nothing significant.

  • Kent County Council (24 023 308)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 04-Jun-2025

    Summary: We cannot investigate this complaint about the actions of a social worker and why Mr X was angry in court. This is because the matters complained of relate directly to matters raised in court.

  • London Borough of Hillingdon (24 018 772)

    Statement Not upheld Charging 04-Jun-2025

    Summary: Mr X complained the Council refused to pay the weekly fee for his mother’s care which it had previously agreed to with the Care Home so his mother (Mrs Y) is at risk of losing her placement. Mr X also complained that the Council failed to consider how Mrs Y’s wellbeing would be affected when it decided to move her to a new Care Home. The Council did not formally agree to a weekly figure with the Care Home so it was not at fault for this. The Council also considered Mrs Y’s wellbeing when deciding to move her to a new Home in line with the relevant guidance and without fault.

  • Lancashire County Council (24 019 034)

    Statement Upheld Special educational needs 04-Jun-2025

    Summary: We upheld Mrs X’s complaint about delays in the Education, Health and Care needs assessment regarding her child, Y. The Council agreed to resolve the complaint early by apologising to Mrs X and paying her a symbolic payment to acknowledge the injustice caused.

  • Hampshire County Council (24 020 288)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Child protection 04-Jun-2025

She has confirmed she has taken court action regarding matters that are closely linked to the matters in her complaint. Despite her view they are separable, we are legally prevented from investigating this complaint.

  • Royal Borough of Greenwich (24 020 602)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Managing council tenancies 04-Jun-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Ms X’s complaint about despair in her Council property because we cannot investigate complaints about councils acting in their capacity as social landlord. There is insufficient evidence of fault in the Council’s decision-making when it awarded band C on its housing register to justify our involvement.

  • Bath and North East Somerset Council (24 021 630)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 04-Jun-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Ms X’s complaint about the Council’s involvement in her detention under the Mental Health Act. There is not enough evidence of fault to justify our involvement. Some of Ms X’s concerns are matters for other bodies to consider.
