Written question asked by Lord Campbell-Savours (Labour), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Earl Howe (Conservative) on Thursday, 23 June 2011.
Care Services: Winterbourne View
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether concerns over the treatment of elderly persons at Winterbourne Hospital reported to the Care Quality Commission were all reported to the Local Government Ombudsman individually, were subject to investigation and responded to in writing.
- Answer
-
The Local Government Ombudsman (LGO) acts independently of central and local government in the investigation of complaints. As such, Ministers and officials have no remit to comment on an investigation, including the Ombudsman's decisions about whether or not to investigate a particular case, or the factors which might be taken into account as part of this. Information in respect of the LGO is not held in the department. The noble Lord may wish to contact the LGO for further information.
