Summary
C has felt that they have obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) for some years. C has seen various clinicians at the board about this but does not feel that they received appropriate care or treatment. C complained to the board about their care and treatment over the previous years. C said that a psychologist did not provide reasonable care or treatment, that a community mental health nurse did not provide reasonable care and that a psychiatrist unreasonably diagnosed C with anxiety.
In their responses, the board told C that the psychologist had reviewed their care and treatment. The board outlined the care and treatment C had been offered and had taken up and concluded that C’s care and treatment had been handled reasonably. C was dissatisfied with the board’s response and raised their complaints with our office.
We found that the overall standard of treatment provided to C between the period in question by all of the board staff complained of was of reasonable quality and in line with relevant guidance. We did not uphold the complaints.
