Summary
Mrs C's complained about the care and treatment provided by the board to her husband (Mr A) over several of years, in a number of respects. Mrs C said that this had an adverse effect on the care provided to Mr A and, as a result, his mental health had suffered.
We took independent advice from an adviser who specialises in psychiatry. We found that the standard of care and provision of treatment was reasonable in all respects and we did not uphold this aspect of the complaint.
Mrs C was also concerned about the way the board had handled her complaint. We found that the board's complaint response reflected the findings of their investigation and was reasonable. Therefore, we did not uphold this aspect of Mrs C's complaint.
