Statement Upheld Other 26-Jun-2025
Summary: We do not uphold G’s complaint about City of York Council and NHS Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board’s decision to reduce their section 117 aftercare in December 2023. However, the Council and ICB should have reviewed G’s aftercare need before they left hospital in March 2024. That caused them distress, and the organisations should jointly apologise for that.

Statement Upheld Looked after children 26-Jun-2025
Summary: Ms X complained the Council’s consideration of a complaint she raised through the children’s statutory complaint procedure about how the Council cared for a child, Y, was flawed. We found the Council was at fault when it overturned some of the statutory investigation’s findings, and did not provide an appropriate remedy to Y for the complaints it did uphold. This included that Y became isolated and institutionalised while they remained in an unregistered placement for more than four years. The Council will apologise and make a payment to Y.

Statement Upheld Homelessness 26-Jun-2025
Summary: Miss X complained about the Council’s delays when she approached it for homelessness assistance. We find the Council was at fault for its delays in awarding Miss X the relevant homelessness duties, for its poor communication and for its delay in providing Miss X with interim accommodation. These faults caused Miss X distress, frustration and upset and she was deprived of suitable accommodation. The Council upheld some of Miss X’s complaints, apologised and offered her £300. The Council has agreed to our further recommendations to apologise to Miss X for the injustice caused by the delay in offering her interim accommodation, make a further payment to her and implement a service improvement.

Miss X says if the Council had completed its assessment correctly, Mr X would not have used the service. The Ombudsman finds the Council at fault, which caused Mr X and Miss Y avoidable and unnecessary distress and financial strain. The Council has agreed to waive the outstanding invoice.

Lincolnshire County Council (24 005 471)
Statement Not upheld Assessment and care plan 26-Jun-2025
Summary: Mrs X complained on behalf of her father, Mr Y about the way Lincolnshire County Council and United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust discharged him from hospital to a care home, The Old Rectory. The Hospital Trust acted with fault when it discharged Mr Y and should apologise to Mrs X for the uncertainty it caused her. It should also take action to avoid similar fault. Mrs X also complained about Lincolnshire Community Health Service NHS Trust’s support for Mr Y’s pressure sores. We found the Community Trust should have started care planning sooner than it did. While that did not cause any injustice, it should take action to avoid similar fault in future.
