Description: I would like to request the following information in relation to Elm Lodge Care Home - between the dates of March 2026 to date.. I understand people were moved at short notice from Elm Lodge at the instruction of your Corporate Director and when there was no need to do so. Can you confirm how this decision was made and if it was Rachel Bowes making that decision. This was done in such a hurry that residents belongings were moved in bin liners. Is this correct and again who authorised this?. Can you confirm how actions from Hazelgarth Care Home have been implemented in relation to how you worked with Elm Lodge Care Home. Can you share written briefings sent to your Corporate Management Team in relation to Elm Lodge Care Home. Could you confirm what governance procedures were followed in relation to your work with Elm Lodge? I understand that this should all be signed off by your corporate management team. Was it?. Can dates, times and minutes of calls and meetings between senior managers and CQC be shared? Was legal advice taken in relation to moving people from Elm Lodge and was it followed? Can you share the advice provided and for each piece of advice state whether it was followed.
