Investigation reports

A Housing Executive resident complained that it didn’t deal with his concerns about his unsafe kitchen.

Upholding the complaint, we recommended that it apologise to the man and provide him with a response within two weeks of our report.

We criticised how a complaint was handled by the Northern Ireland Housing Executive, concluding that it appeared ‘unimportant’ to the organisation to deal with complaints quickly and effectively.

We asked Choice Housing Association to review its Anti-Social Behaviour procedures, and to ensure its staff are aware of the importance of record keeping when conducting investigations into Anti-Social Behaviour.

A man complained about the way the Housing Executive dealt with his concerns about episodes of Anti-Social Behaviour.  We upheld the complaint, finding that the Housing Executive did not manage the claims in line with its Anti-Social Behaviour manual.

We found that a man recovering from a stomach operation was discharged too early from the ICU of Belfast City Hospital. We asked the Trust to apologise, and to review the treatment of a number of other patients who had returned to ICU following a similar operation.
