Conclusion (the committee's words)
In line with the approaches our predecessor committees have taken to the examination of special reports, we have sought to consider the arguments from both the Ombudsman and the Charity Commission fairly and objectively. While we also invited Ms Lara Hall and Mr Damian Murray, the two complainants at the heart of the PHSO’s special reports, to share their views on the investigations with us, our role as a committee is not to reinvestigate the original complaints in question.
