Summary
C complained to us about the board, as they held a number of concerns regarding the board's management of their medication for ADHD, pain (they suffer from fibromyalgia), and insomnia. C also considered that the board had failed to take reasonable account of their needs in the way they had communicated with them.
We took independent advice from a consultant psychiatrist. We found that C's medication was appropriate for the management of their diagnosed conditions. We did not consider that there was any evidence of unreasonable communication which failed to take account of C's needs. Therefore, we did not uphold C's complaints.
