Report CS18004

The report set out the findings of the Local Government Ombudsman in a case where the parents of a young person had complained that the Council had failed to ensure that their son continued to receive a support package following his 18^th birthday when he transitioned to adult social care. The Ombudsman had found fault causing injustice, and had issued a public report on 2^nd March 2017 which the Council was required to consider.

The report had been scrutinised by the Executive and Resources PDS Committee at its meeting on 18^th May 2017. The Committee recommended that the Executive refer the case to the Care Services PDS Committee for review.

The Leader stated that it was important that the mistakes made in this case were not repeated, and that the Care Services Portfolio Holder should be kept informed.

RESOLVED that the action taken to resolve the complaint be noted, and the compensation payment of £6,032.10 be endorsed.
