Milton Keynes Council (23 000 946)
Statement Upheld Disabled children 27-Feb-2025
Summary: Mrs G complained about the decision by NHS Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes Integrated Care Board (the ICB) to reduce the night-time support for her child, D. She also complained about the way Milton Keynes Council (the Council) considered respite for the family and a preferred placement. We found fault in the way the ICB decided to reduce night-time support as it did not follow the recommendations from an independent assessment or properly consider the impact its decision would have on D’s parents. This likely caused D’s parents avoidable worry and distress. The Council did not provide enough support to meet the family’s needs but acted to put things right during our investigation. There was a lack of joined up working when assessing D’s health and social care needs. The ICB and Council have accepted our recommendations to complete a holistic review of D’s needs, apologise to Mrs G, make acknowledgement payments and improve their processes. We have now completed our investigation.
