    Statement Upheld Assessment and care plan 14-Sep-2023

    Summary: Mr B complains about the Section 117 aftercare his brother, Mr C, received after he was discharged from hospital. The Council, Trust and ICB carried out an assessment of Mr C’s needs for Section 117 aftercare and put in place a support package over the following months. However, there was a delay in a review of the care plan in November 2022 and this was fault. The Council, Trust and ICB have agreed to apologise to the family and to pay a financial remedy.

  • London Borough of Harrow (22 013 862)

    Statement Upheld Charging 13-Sep-2023

    Summary: Mr X complained about the Council charging him a personal care contribution and complaint handling delays. The Council did not incorrectly charge Mr X for personal care or fail to complete a financial assessment review. However, we find it failed to respond to Mr X’s request for a Care and Support plan review and delayed its response to his complaints. The Council will apologise to Mr X and pay him £200 in recognition of uncertainty, frustration and inconvenience caused. It should also make a decision about Mr X’s Care and Support plan review request and advise him of the outcome.

    Statement Upheld Special educational needs 11-Sep-2023

    Summary: Mrs X complained that the Council failed to provide all the provision set out in her daughter’s Education, Health and Care plan. Mrs X said this meant her daughter missed out on provision she was entitled to, and it caused Mrs X unnecessary distress and frustration. We find there was a service failure which caused Mrs X and her daughter injustice. The Council will apologise and make a payment to Mrs X to reflect the injustice caused.

  • London Borough of Harrow (23 006 538)

  • London Borough of Harrow (22 013 256)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Council tax 06-Sep-2023

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council failing to deal with Mr X’s housing benefit or discretionary housing payment claim. We will also not investigate Mr X’s complaint about unpaid council tax being referred to court. This is because there is insufficient evidence of fault by the Council or injustice caused to Mr X regarding some issues and we are satisfied with the action or proposed action by the Council in relation to others. In addition, we cannot consider the commencement or conduct of court proceedings and Mr X could reasonably use his appeal rights regarding the council tax.
