    Report summary

    Jeremiah Obaka, who was 77 and had several medical conditions including chronic lymphoid leukaemia, was found dead at home on 2 July 2016 after carers received no reply on subsequent visits following their last visit on 27 June 2016. The principal concern was that there was no agreed, consistent policy or guideline for responding when a service user did not reply or could not be found, and the local authority and care agency had different guidelines that had not been communicated to each other.
