Committee considered the annual letter from the Local Government and Social Care

Ombudsman 2022/23.

 

The Annual Letter from the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman

(LGSCO) contained an annual summary of statistics on the complaints made against

the Council for the financial year ending 31st March 2023.

 

The LGSCO received 3 enquiries and complaints during 2022/23 of which two were closed after initial enquiries, and one was not upheld with no fault found.

 

It should be noted that the data provided by the LGSCO may not align with the data

the Council held because their numbers included enquiries from people who had been signposted by the LGSCO back to the Council, but who may then have chosen not to pursue their complaint.

 

Moved by Councillor Rita Turner and seconded by Councillor Louise Fox RESOLVED that the annual letter from the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman 2022/23 be noted.
