Report of the Group Director Adults, Health and Integration, London Borough of Hackney

The Board received a report of the Group Director Adults, Health and Integration at London Borough of Hackney, concerning the City and Hackney Safeguarding Adults Board (CHSAB) Annual Report for 2022-23.

It was asked if a patient believed that a Local Authority was failing in its safeguarding duties could self-refer. The response was confirmation that patients could self-refer to organisations including health, the police, and any other social care organisation. This was actively being encouraged by CHSAB.

Officers would follow up with CHSAB to ensure that other organisations, aside from Homerton Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (Homerton) and East London NHS Foundation Trust (ELFT), were captured within its annual report.

RESOLVED – That the report be received and its contents noted.
