Institutional abuse and Evictions of Care Home Residents

Doug Paulley made this Freedom of Information request to South Bucks District Council

South Bucks District Council did not have the information requested.

From: Doug Paulley

25 June 2010

Dear South Bucks District Council,

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 sitaution, 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 insitutional abuse of
a Leonard Cheshire social care service user over the past 3 years.

Further, please provide anonymised information on the alleged
behaviour by Leonard Cheshire resulting in the conclusion.

Yours faithfully,

Doug Paulley

Dear Sir

In response to your request under the provisions of the Freedom of
Information Act 2000 I am writing to inform you that we have searched our
records and the information you requested with reference to Leonard
Cheshire Care Homes is not held by South Bucks District Council. This
Council does not hold any information relating to adult care and social
services as this is a County Council function and South Bucks is a
District Council. You may wish to re-direct your request to Bucks County
Council. You may access their website at [1]www.buckscc.gov.uk .

I hope this answers your questions but if you feel that it does not, you
can contact me with your queries. You also have the right to request an
internal review of your request and ultimately to complain to the
Information Commissioner should you still be unhappy with the outcome.
You should direct any queries or complaints to me before progressing any
complaint to the Information Commissioner. If you would like more
information about the role and work of the Information Commissioner go to
their website [2]www.ico.gov.uk.

Yours faithfully
