Mental health and town hall bosses rapped over £8K bill which caused 'avoidable distress and worry'Mental health and town hall bosses have been rapped for causing a man and his family eight months of ‘avoidable distress and worry ’ over an £8,000 bill for supported living they had not been warned about. Although the bill was eventually waived, the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman has criticised Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust - acting on behalf of Trafford council - about the way the man’s discharge from hospital was handled.
