Summary (the LGO's words, from its website)
We will not investigate Mr X’s historic complaint about time he spent in the care of the Council. The complaint is late and, due to the passage of time since the concerns occurred, there is no realistic prospect of us reaching a sound, fair or meaningful outcome.
