Find out more about service improvements

When we find fault, we can recommend improvements to systems and processes where they haven’t worked properly, so that others do not suffer from these same problems in future. Common examples are policy changes; procedural reviews; and staff training. Service improvements from decisions are published for 5 years and those from reports are published for 10 years.

    Summary

    Ms H complained about the support her father received from a care home commissioned by the Council, and how they communicated with her. She said as a result he did not receive enough equipment, missed out on NHS funding, and she experienced distress. We did not find fault by the Council on the substantive parts of the complaint. However, there was some fault in the communication with Ms H which was not timely or clear. The Council will apologise to her to acknowledge the distress and uncertainty this caused.

    Service improvements

    The Council will share this decision with the care home for it to review how it can ensure communication with relatives is clear. This includes when referrals are made or outcomes are known, and may also include guidance on who a relative can approach if they disagree with decisions made by other bodies.
