Mr E complained about Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board’s handling of his complaint about the care provided to his mother.

The Ombudsman sought and gained the Health Board’s agreement to apologise to Mr E, provide an explanation for this failure, to pay him redress of £150, and issue a complaint response within 3 months.
