Linden Care Homes Limited (24 006 614)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Residential care 30-Sep-2024
Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about medication errors in a residential care home. The resident has died so we can provide no remedy to them, and there is no ongoing risk. The Local Authority safeguarding, and the Care Quality Commission have investigated, so it unlikely we would reach a different outcome in the wider public interest. There is an impact on the relative of the resident, who is distressed. But this is not significant injustice on its own to justify an Ombudsman investigation.

And it is reasonable to expect her to complete the Council’s complaint procedure on her June 2024 complaint.

North Northamptonshire Council (23 019 041)
Statement Upheld Safeguarding 29-Sep-2024
Summary: Miss X complained the Council failed to safeguard her son Mr Y from financial abuse. The Council commissioned care provider failed to update Miss X on the outcome of a safeguarding investigation. There was no fault in the way the Council investigated the safeguarding concern. Miss X also complained the Council commissioned care provider repeatedly cancelled hours and the Council failed to have sufficient oversight of this. There was fault in the care provider’s actions. The Council monitored this but failed to follow this up with service users. This was fault. The faults caused Miss X frustration and uncertainty. To remedy that injustice, the Council has agreed to apologise to Miss X and issue a reminder to staff.

Lincolnshire County Council (24 003 431)
Statement Upheld Charging 29-Sep-2024
Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s handling of care arrangements because there is not enough evidence of fault by the Council to warrant it, nor of the Council causing significant enough injustice to meet the tests in our Assessment Code, and we could not achieve a significantly different result so long after the original events.

London Borough of Ealing (23 017 512)
Statement Upheld Special educational needs 29-Sep-2024
Summary: Ms X complained the Council failed to secure J’s special educational provision and delayed issuing a final Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plan. Ms X also said the Council failed to discharge its education duties when J stopped attending school. We have found the Council at fault for the delay in issuing J’s EHC Plan and for parts of its complaint handling. We have made recommendations to remedy the injustice we believe this caused. We have found the Council at fault for not properly recording its decisions about alternative education provision. However, this did not cause an injustice. We have not found the Council at fault for failing to secure the special education provision in J’s EHC Plan. There are parts of Ms X’s complaint we cannot investigate. We explain why in our decision statement.
