Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, if he will take steps to ensure that stakeholders of the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman who raise questions on the Ombudsman's service charter receive a response.
The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman (PHSO) is independent of Government and is accountable to Parliament through the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee for its performance.
I understand that the Ombudsman’s office has already contacted the Hon. Member to offer a meeting about issues relating to his annual scrutiny session with the Committee.
