according to sister's situation - I was in her home today - and it is a danger trap for - however I now have been told that Occupational Therapist needs to intervene now    then I taxied to private her housing association and Northern Ireland Housing Executive and both blamed each other as they were waiting from each other - I was there in foot

 

niece who has been dealing with this has done her best - but I just don't know any more

I myself went to two NIHe and Choice and they just "we are waiting results from each other".  But they are very much waiting on the Occupation Therapist result.  *Repeat)

Niece tried by phone OT and didn't get a reply - as far as I know if you were to get a good report from OT it would be great.

Now niece is telling me next week all family are going on vacation and so I don't what or where to go.

 

Sister has now influenza and hopefully I will get up on Saturday but no there will be no OTs.

Anybody advise me and thanks

Hi Jenny, it must be so frustrating that the necessary occupational therapist report is not forthcoming. Would the powers that be accept a private report? It will cost but might get things moving the way you want and your sister needs

The usual problem. Too many departments relying on each other and not working together .

 

Could the ombudsman help?

 

Exhausting as it is you need to keep rattling their cages and banging on every door.

The problem with private OT is they are in it to make money!

So your report is going to look 'bad'

The HE will know this and may choose to ignore it.

Best check with the HE if they will accept a private OT report.
