Had a man fix a wall with damp damage, he only scraped the loose plaster/ paint, and painted over it. Should he have done more? Could there be long term issues?

Did he do any damp proof injection? Also what was the source of the damp? If you have not cured the source it will only come back through. There is an old saying "you cant polish a turd" and that is exactly what he has done! sorry to be blunt but he has done it wrong.
