Council at fault after man left at increased risk of chokingpublished at 17:53 British Summer Time 24 September 2018

Local Democracy ReporterNottingham City Council has agreed to waive care home fees after a man was left at increased risk of choking because he was given the wrong medication.
It comes after a detailed investigation by the Local Government Ombudsman (LGO) found the council was at fault.
A report published by the LGO said: "There was an incident on December 7, 2016, where Mr M 'almost choked to death as a consequence of poor care'."
Mr M, who passed away in April 2018, suffered from health issues including problems with swallowing which gave him a risk of choking.
Mr M was prescribed thickeners in his fluids to reduce this risk.
Once he was moved to the new care home, his speech and language therapist observed that Mr M was given the wrong thickeners.
She reported this to his social worker, who then raised a safeguarding alert.
His son was dissatisfied and complained to the ombudsman.
This new care home was more expensive, but Mr F said the council agreed to waive the extra charges.
The ombudsman concluded: "There was fault when Mr M was put at risk of choking, causing distress to Mr M and his son.
“The council's offer to waive some fees is sufficient to remedy this injustice."
A spokesman for Nottingham City Council said: "We accept the findings of the ombudsman in this case and are pleased a resolution was found."
