The Ombudsman has recently found a local authority and ICB were at fault for there repeated failure to work together over funding of woman’s combined health and social care needs. This caused a prolonged delay in discharging the woman from hospital. The Ombudsman found the local authority and the ICB at fault for failing to manage a funding dispute adequately. They ordered the two organisations to each pay £250 in recognition of the stress and frustration caused to the woman’s husband (who complained).
