The Ombudsman found there had been a delay in the Health Board responding to Mr F’s complaint. She said that this caused frustration for Mr F. She decided to settle the complaint without an investigation.

The Ombudsman sought and gained the Health Board’s agreement to apologise to Mr F, offer him a redress payment of £100, and issue its complaint response within 6 weeks.
