Thought this might be of interest.
Recently we lost our relatives continuing care funding application which i have gone on about in other posts.
As part of this process we found out that CCG have a policy document called Choice & Equity. This document states that even if you win NHS continuing care no matter what your individual needs are CCG will not provide night time care at home. You will only be offered a care home place.
Most of you will no this contradicts the national framework etc.
I asked in writing for a copy of this document. After waiting 3 weeks i chased it up and today received an email telling me as we were not getting continuing care funding my request was deemed UNREASONABLE and as such they wont supply the document except that i can apply a freedom of information request to them.
Now if this document was deemed to be a legal policy why would you not want a member of the public to see it? What have they got to hide?
Obviously i have put the FOI request in to them. It has made me even more determined to find out why the bureaucrats are so keen to keep this document hidden.
I will let you know how i get on....
