Violation Description: We found fault by a care home acting on behalf of the Council regarding the care it provided to Mr X, an elderly man with complex care needs. We found the care home failed to support Mr X and his wife, Mrs X, to make an informed choice about his GP registration. We also found the care home failed to administer palliative medication to Mr X as prescribed. In addition, we found fault by the Practice as it failed to discuss Mr X's end of life management plan with Mrs X. These failings caused Mrs X distress. The Council and Practice will apologise for this fault and take action to prevent similar problems occurring in future.
