• Sep 2024: NHS Northamptonshire ICB (22 009 742a) https://www.lgo.org.uk/decisions/health/mental-health-services/22-009-742a Statement Upheld Mental health services 29-Apr-2024 Summary: Miss D complained about the lack of mental health and social care provided to her son, Mr B, when he was discharged from hospital. She said this led to a lack of joint working between the Council, the Trust and the Integrated Care Board (ICB). She said they did not make reasonable adjustments when communicating with Mr B. Miss D also complained about the way the ICB handled her complaint. We found fault in the way they organisations considered and provided support to meet Mr B’s holistic mental health and social care needs. They did not properly consider their duty to make reasonable adjustments when communicating with him. The ICB’s complaint handling was poor, and it failed to provide Miss D with a satisfactory complaint response. The organisations agreed to our recommendations and will apologise to Miss D and Mr B, they will make symbolic payments, assess Mr B’s holistic needs and issue guidance to their staff in areas where they need to improve.

• Sep 2024: Camden and Islington NHS Foundation Trust (23 019 283a) https://www.lgo.org.uk/decisions/health/mental-health-services/23-019-283a Statement Closed after initial enquiries Mental health services 17-Jun-2024 Summary: Mr B complained about the assessment and decision to detain him under the Mental Health Act, and the care provided in hospital. We will not investigate Mr B’s complaint about the decision to detain him under the Mental Health Act, as he has previously appealed this decision at the mental health tribunal. We will not investigate Mr B’s complaint about the care he received while he was staying on the hospital ward, as it is unlikely an investigation would add to the response Mr B has already received from the Trust.
• Sep 2024: Avon & Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust (23 012 177a) https://www.lgo.org.uk/decisions/health/mental-health-services/23-012-177a Statement Upheld Mental health services 12-Jun-2024 Summary: Avon & Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust did not appropriately record Miss X’s reasonable adjustments during a meeting. That did not cause her an injustice but the Trust should still take action to stop similar fault happening to others. Also, an Approved Mental Health Professional for North Somerset Council did not inform Mr X of his rights as Miss X’s nearest relative following a Mental Health Act assessment. The Council should apologise for the frustration caused to him.

• Sep 2024: Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust (23 015 902a) https://www.lgo.org.uk/decisions/health/mental-health-services/23-015-902a Statement Closed after initial enquiries Mental health services 03-Jun-2024 Summary: We will not investigate Miss Y’s complaints. She has already appealed the decision to detain her under Section 3 of the Mental Health Act to the First Tier Tribunal (Mental Health). Also, the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman is better placed to consider her complaints about transfer between hospitals and care and treatment under Section 3.
• Sep 2024: Gloucester Health & Care NHS Foundation Trust (23 017 881a) https://www.lgo.org.uk/decisions/health/mental-health-services/23-017-881a Statement Closed after initial enquiries Mental health services 23-May-2024 Summary: Mrs A complains about the section 117 aftercare being provided to her sister, Ms B. We should not investigate this complaint because the Trust has already admitted fault and taken steps to remedy the injustice to Ms B. Further investigation would not achieve anything more.
• Sep 2024: South West London & St. Georges Mental Health NHS Trust (23 017 445a) https://www.lgo.org.uk/decisions/health/mental-health-services/23-017-445a Statement Closed after initial enquiries Mental health services 06-May-2024 Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about the decision to detain him under Section 2 of the Mental Health Act 1983. This is because Mr X appealed this decision to the First Tier Tribunal (Mental Health). This means we are prevented from investigating this complaint.
• Sep 2024: Norfolk & Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust (23 005 445a) https://www.lgo.org.uk/decisions/health/mental-health-services/23-005-445a - Statement Upheld Mental health services 18-Jul-2024 - Summary: We investigated a complaint about the care and support provided to Mr O’s late brother Mr K by a Council and NHS Trust. We found fault by both organisations. The Council took too long to allocate Mr K a social worker and too long to respond to Mr O’s complaints. The Trust took too long to act on concerns about Mr K’s fitness to drive or to arrange an assessment of his mental capacity. The communication between the Council and Trust was also poor at times. These failings caused Mr O and Mr K avoidable distress and frustration. The organisations have agreed to apologise, pay a financial remedy, and take actions to improve their services.

• Sep 2024: NHS Norfolk and Waveney ICB (23 019 114b) Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about the decision to detain him under the Mental Health Act, or about how he was interviewed during the assessment.

• Sep 2024: London Borough of Barking & Dagenham (23 018 262) "Summary: Ms X complained the Council billed her daughter for £20,000 in care charges for the time she spent in supported living from 2015 to 2022. Ms X says her daughter cannot manage her own finances and it failed to tell Ms X about the care charges. The Council has accepted fault for failing to complete a capacity assessment of Ms X’s daughter or keep either Ms X or her daughter suitably informed about care charges. The Council has offered to remove £15,339.64 worth of care charges from 2019 to December 2022. This is a suitable offer to reflect the fault. The Council also agreed to apologise to Ms X for delays in confirming the care charges owed from January 2023 to June 2023 and offer a payment arrangement to repay this balance owed." https://www.lgo.org.uk/decisions/adult-care-services/charging/23-018-262
