SPSO (Scottish Public Services Ombudsman) Not Upheld

Perth and Kinross Council

201101698 · Local Government › Sheltered housing issues · Decision date: 01 May 2012

Full Decision

Mrs C complained on behalf of Mr A about the council's entitlement to charge him for housing support services. Mrs C disagreed with the council's interpretation of legislation in relation to their ability to charge for services not directly provided by the council and where the council had not themselves carried out an assessment.

We explained to Mrs C that it was not appropriate for us to get involved with disputes over the interpretation of legislation. Our investigation satisfied us that the council had responded appropriately to Mrs C's concerns, and that they had explained why they considered they were entitled to charge for housing support services.
