A mother filed a complaint against a local community service centre (CLSC) which had not given her son proper support.
The man was kept waiting for a diagnosis required for him to receive the services he needed.
We discovered that the CLSC had put him on a waiting list without informing him about how his file was going. What’s more, no one gave him any support even though he would have really needed help.
Since we intervened, the CLSC has improved its follow-up for people in situations similar to this one. More specifically, it provides them with a written reply specifying their eligibility and the time it will take for a diagnosis.
