Cheshire West & Chester Council (24 011 679)
Statement Upheld Assessment and care plan 31-Mar-2025
Summary: Ms X complained the Council delayed reviewing her care and support plan, took too long to put in place a direct payment and delayed responding to her complaint. We upheld the complaint. The review of Ms X’s care and support plan was already overdue when she requested it and the Council did not act promptly to complete the review or put in place the direct payment. The Council also took too long to respond to the complaint and failed to recognise it was at fault. The Council will apologise and make a symbolic payment and take action to minimise the chance of recurrence.
