Recommendation, verbatim from the inquiry

●Inquiry recommendation

Care plans should be regularly evaluated to assess their impact on people’s wellbeing. This is the responsibility of the care team and should include formal, documented input from the service user themselves (where appropriate) and families. Additionally, there should be regular independent reviews overseen by the Public Health Agency (PHA) to assess any deviation from best practice, both in the written plan and in daily care delivery. These reviews should be shared with people themselves and families.
