What we have done to improve our service
Following an Ombudsman investigation, Private Sector Housing Services and the Equipment & Adaptations team have recently introduced a new "Fast Track" priority category for Disabled Facilities Grants. This category is now used for all Disabled Facilities Grant referrals, where someone, is being discharged from hospital.
"Fast track" referals are now given the highest possible level of priority by both sections, with a view to ensuring that work is carried out before hospital discharge wherever this is feasible.
One case has already been processed using this new category, and work has recently commenced on the adaptations within 4 weeks of referral to our Technical Officer. This compares favourably with our normal timescale for urgent cases, which are likely to take two to three times that period of time to achieve commencement on site.
