Dear Herefordshire Council,

Can Herefordshire Council please provide the following information;

1. From 1st January 2017 to 31st December 2017, how many concerns were raised with, or reported to, Herefordshire Council regarding neglect or abuse at Charles Court Care Home, HR2 6GG, in relation to a vulnerable adult with care and support needs who is at risk and is unable to protect themselves because of those needs?
Please provide separate figures for each party: i.e. provider staff, residents, social workers, police, family member, CQC, etc.

2. Of the concerns raised or reported to Herefordshire council from 1st January 2017 to 31st December 2017 by parties regarding neglect or abuse at Charles Court Care Home, HR2 6GG, how many were escalated to an enquiry under Section 42 of the Care Act?
Please also provide the source of the S42 enquiry, i.e. provider staff, CQC, family member etc.

3. Of the S42 enquiries undertaken by Herefordshire Council from 1st January 2017 to 31st December 2017 regarding neglect or abuse at Charles Court Care Home, HR2 6GG, how many were confirmed?

4. Of the concerns raised or reported to Herefordshire council from 1st January 2017 to 31st December 2017 by parties regarding neglect or abuse at Charles Court Care Home, HR2 6GG, what form was the neglect or abuse: i.e. fall, bedsores, malnutrition, life-threatening infection, physical or psychological abuse, etc.

5. What is Herefordshire Councils policy regarding nurses who are under investigation by the Nursing & Midwifery Council or other organisation or regulatory body?
i.e. Are said nurses permitted to continue working, and if so, independently or under strict supervision?

6. If a provider has a contract with Herefordshire Council, and any of said provider's care homes are under investigations for the death of a service user, what safeguards are put in place to prevent new admissions until the Care home is deemed safe and capable of providing adequate care and support?

Yours faithfully,

Chris Bury

As I expected, the response conflict with a previous response (Link below) to an FOI and questions I asked; notable S42 enquiries for Priory Group placements for 2017 being 0 and now 9 for Charles Court alone.
Why the figures were hidden until there was media attention is a concern in itself.
