Dear Mr Paulley
Freedom of Information Request: 184/2010
Thank you for your request received by the Council 25 June 2010.
Your enquiry was:
1)
Please supply information relating to the incidence of attempts by care
providers to evict residents in care homes - that is, care providers giving
residents notice to leave or otherwise attempting to get them to leave without
their involvement in the decision or against their wishes.
Please indicate the number of cases you are aware of for the last 3 years,
also indicating if and how your council responded to the situation, and what
was the ultimate result of the situation, i.e. if and how the situation was
resolved.
2)
Please provide me with the number of instances your council is aware of
where either CQC or local authority safeguarding procedures have
substantiated allegations of institutional abuse of a Leonard Cheshire social
care service user over the past 3 years.
Further, please provide anonymous information on the alleged behaviour by
Leonard Cheshire resulting in the conclusion.
The Councilā€™s response is:
Please be aware that the Council does not hold this information. Within the
geographical boundary of the Sevenoaks District the responsibility for providing adult
social care is delegated to Kent County Council, not the District Council. Freedom of
Information requests can be made to Kent at:
[email address]
I trust the above information has been of assistance to you. Should you have any
further questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
Should you be dissatisfied with the way we have processed your request the Council
has an internal review process which you can begin by contacting Ally Round,
Democratic Services Manager
([email address]). If you remain
dissatisfied you have the right to appeal to the Information Commissionersā€™ Office
(ICO)
