When a care and support plan review is carried out, is there a time limit for completing it – I have been answering questions despite requesting a light touch review, for 10 months now. It was stated 3 weeks ago that the review was completed, but now further queries have been presented which have already been asked and answered. Is the review a statutory process and what can one rely on to get it completed ?

The answer is found in s27 of the Care Act; and in the Guidance. Section 27 is what makes the duty to review a statutory duty.

Then there’s the whole of chapter 13 about review. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/care-act-statutory-guidance/care-and-support-statutory-guidance#Chapter13

There’s no time limit for it, but since it should be done annually, 10 months and forgetting what’s already been asked is way too long.
