Adult Social Care staff being diverted
Staff are being taken off routine assessments to assist with transfer to new care arrangements. That means my elder mother has been in a care home since mid July and still hasn't been assessed to formally state this is where she will reside permanently. That means her council flat tenancy can't be relinquished so a flat is sitting empty, housing benefit is being paid as well until staff can catch up on the growing backlog of routine assessments.
