  • Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust (25 006 301a)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Hospital acute services 14-Apr-2026

    Summary: Mrs X complains on behalf of her mother, Mrs Y, about inaccurate information regarding social care charges provided by the Trust and the Council. Mrs X says this led to Mrs Y accepting social care support which she would have rejected, had she known it would be chargeable. Mrs X says an invoice for the services caused upset and distress. She would like the Council to waive the charges. We will not investigate this complaint. An Ombudsman investigation is unlikely to achieve more than the Council’s local complaint investigation.
