Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman
(asked on 22nd March 2016) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the leadership of the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman.
This question was answered on 4th April 2016
The Government has expressed its concern on behalf of patients about some of the things that have been happening. It is important that patients have confidence in the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman, but the Ombudsman is independent of Government, accountable directly to Parliament. This is therefore a matter for the relevant Select Committee of the House of Commons.
