Recommendation
The Committee firmly agrees with need for legislative change of the PHSO. It has been seven years since the draft Public Service Ombudsman Bill was presented by the Government. Given that there is widespread consensus on the need to reduce the complexity of the ombudsman system in England and to bring the legislation in line with international best practice, the Government’s reluctance to address this long-standing issue is unacceptable.
