Article summary

The North Yorkshire County Council has been told to apologise to a family for not completing a financial assessment following an Ombudsman investigation. The council had agreed to complete an assessment of disability-related expenditure of a young woman to include her housing and transport costs. However, the council failed to share the assessment with the woman or her parents until another Ombudsman investigation in October 2019. The council has been told to apologise to the family for not completing the assessment by the agreed deadline and has offered to pay the family £250 for their time in pursuing the matter.
