Statement Closed after initial enquiries Assessment and care plan 16-Mar-2026
Summary: Mr X complains about the hospital discharge arrangements for his mother. He also complains about inadequate considerations for Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards and Continuing Healthcare for his mother. We will not investigate the events surrounding the hospital discharges as these complaints are late. We will not investigate the other complaints because the organisations have already accepted fault and provided appropriate remedies. We are therefore unlikely to achieve more.
