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.

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Fostering 30-Sep-2024
Summary: We will not investigate Miss X’s complaint about children services support to her as a foster carer. There are no good reasons the late complaint rule should not apply to her 2023 complaint. 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.
