Statement Upheld Mental health services 23-Dec-2025

Summary: Mr A complained that a care coordinator, working for an integrated mental health and social care service, failed to support his son to apply for Universal Credit. We have not found fault by either the responsible Council or NHS Trust. However, we have found fault in how both organisations responded to Mr A’s complaint. Neither would accept responsibility for it at first. Both organisations have agreed to apologise, take corrective action and make a financial payment to address the injustice this caused Mr A.

Summary: Mrs X complains about the care and support provided to her daughter after her autism diagnosis. Based on current evidence I have found fault by the Trust and the Council.

Summary: Mr C complains the Council and Trust failed to provide him with suitable care, respond to calls, and support him with his direct payments.
