Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what recent discussions he has had with the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman (PHSO) on staffing and funding levels in the PHSO offices.
This question was answered on 14th February 2017
I have not held any discussions with the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman on these matters. The Ombudsman is independent of Government and is accountable to Parliament, through the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee, for its performance and the use of its resources. It is primarily resourced by funds approved by the House of Commons through the annual Supply & Appropriation Act.
