Statement Upheld Special educational needs 14-Jul-2024
Summary: Mrs X complains the Council failed to provide direct payments on time to fund the support set out in her son’s Education Health and Care Plan (EHC Plan). We found there was repeated delay by the Council in making Y’s direct payments. We also found the Council attempted to reduce Y’s EHC Plan support without regard for its legal duties under the SEN Code of Practice. We recommended the Council apologised, made a payment to Mrs X and reviewed its processes and procedures with a view to preventing the reoccurrence of the same issues.

Priory Mews Healthcare Ltd (23 000 998)
Report Upheld Charging 11-Jul-2024
Summary: We investigated a complaint about the residential services provided to the complainant. We found Priory Mews Healthcare Limited did not notify Mr X promptly of the fees payable for his mother’s care once she became self-funding. These faults meant Mr X received a large and unexpected invoice from the care provider. As a result he moved his mother from this home to a less expensive home, as he would have done sooner had he known of the actual fees. As a result, Mr X suffered injustice and his mother suffered the distress of moving to another home.

East Hertfordshire District Council (23 007 746)
Statement Not upheld Planning applications 11-Jul-2024
Summary: Mr C complains about the Council’s handling of a planning application for a large residential development and its discharge of conditions several years ago. He also said it had failed to properly consider the concerns it received about the approved road layout’s impact on the wellbeing and safety of residents following a decision to keep a nearby connection to a highway open. We found Mr C’s concerns about the Council’s planning decisions were brought to us late. There was no fault in the process the Council followed to reach its view not to reopen or seek amendment to the approved plans. It therefore reached decisions it was entitled to make.

We found the Council was not at fault for commencing enquiries. However, it did not follow correct procedure as it did not tell Mr X about the enquiries or the outcome. We found no fault in the Council’s recording of the enquiries, but there was an error in a later review report which the Council will correct.
