Download or read book Time for a People s Ombudsman Service HC 655 written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Public Administration Select Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2014-04-28 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this report the Public Administration Select Committee (PASC) calls for a 'People's Ombudsman' and says the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman (PHSO), which investigates complaints against the NHS and other government departments and agencies, is outdated. Citizens should have direct and more user-friendly access to the Ombudsman. None of the Ombudsmen created since the PHSO's operations were established in legislation 47 years ago have adopted the same restricted model as the Parliamentary Ombudsman. As a priority, the restriction on citizens' direct and open access to PHSO, known as the MP filter, must be abolished (as is already the case in respect of NHS complaints). PHSO must be able to receive complaints other than in writing: such as in person, by telephone or online, just as is expected of any normal complaints system. PHSO should have powers to investigate areas of concern without having first to receive a complaint from a service user. Parliament should strengthen the accountability of PHSO. PASC, along with other Departmental Select Committees, should make greater use of the intelligence gathered by the PHSO to hold Government to account. A consultation should be held on the creation of a single public services ombudsman for England. At the same time, there must be a distinctive ombudsman service for UK non-devolved matters.

Download or read book Public services ombudsmen written by Great Britain: Law Commission and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2011-07-13 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The public services ombudsmen provide a vital redress mechanism for aggrieved citizens; they are free for complainants, confidential and swift. This report deals with the five public services ombudsmen operating in England and Wales: (1) The Parliamentary Commissioner; (2) The Local Government Ombudsman; (3) The Health Service Ombudsman; (4) The Public Services Ombudsman for Wales; and (5) The Housing Ombudsman. The overarching aim is to recommend modernisation of the statutes for these ombudsmen: clarifying them where required; reforming them where the Commission thinks this would facilitate the work of the ombudsmen; increasing transparency and accountability where necessary. The Commission could not consider fundamental institutional design, and did not look at the creation of new ombudsmen or the amalgamation of the existing ombudsmen. The subject matter of the ombudsmen's work or the definition of "maladministration" was also not considered. The report is divided in to 5 parts including the recommendation to commission a general review of the role of the public services ombudsmen and their relationship with other institutions for administrative justice, such as judicial review or tribunals; access to the ombudsmen; the ombudsmen process; resolution, report & sharing experience; and independence & accountability
Download or read book The Northern Ireland Assembly written by Sean Haughey and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-09-08 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Northern Ireland’s power- sharing Assembly is understudied in the legislative studies literature. Having been suspended (or de facto suspended) for around 40% of its existence, conversation has tended to focus more on the wider political problems in which the Assembly has been enmeshed and less on its day-to-day functions as a legislature. This book is the first to examine how the Assembly fulfils the four core functions of a legislature: representation, linkage, scrutiny, and policy- making. Using Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) as the primary unit of analysis, the book explores: who and how MLAs represent; their approach to cultivating links with constituents; their use of parliamentary scrutiny tools; and their contribution to law- making. The book grounds its analysis in original data sourced from elite interviews, surveys, parliamentary questions, legislation, and the Official Report of parliamentary proceedings. Readers will therefore be able to reflect on whether the Assembly’s (often poor) reputations comport with empirical realities. This book contributes to debates in the legislative studies and consociational power- sharing literatures, and will be of interest to students and scholars of parliaments, devolution, and Northern Ireland politics.

Download or read book Public Services Ombudsman written by Great Britain: Law Commission and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2010-09-02 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents proposals by the Law Commission for reforms to make it easier to complain if you suffer poor public services. The public services ombudsmen have wide-ranging powers to investigate complaints against health service providers, housing associations and a host of Government departments and agencies. Complaints are dealt with for free and can result in financial compensation and an apology. But the procedures for making a complaint are often outdated and inconsistent. For example, complaints must usually be submitted in writing and in some cases can be made only through an MP. The proposed reforms will help to keep cases out of court: under current rules the ombudsman should not deal with a complaint after court proceedings have begun, even if the complainant was badly advised to go to court. In future, the Law Commission would like courts to transfer appropriate cases to the ombudsman. The consultation focuses on five statutory ombudsmen: the Parliamentary Commissioner for Administration, Public Services Ombudsman for Wales, and the Local Government, Health Service and Housing Ombudsmen

Download or read book Report on the Committee s Proposals for a Northern Ireland Public Services Ombudsman Bill written by Northern Ireland: Northern Ireland Assembly: Committee for the Office of the First Minister and deputy First Minister and published by . This book was released on 2013-09-25 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Committee for the Office of the First Minister and deputy First Minister in this mandate, and the 2007-2011 mandate, has developed policy proposals to combine the offices of the Assembly Ombudsman for Northern Ireland and the Northern Ireland Commissioner for Complaints with their current powers remit and responsibilities - subject to the proposals set out. The proposals would also reform jurisdiction and powers and provide for appointment of the Northern Ireland Public Services Ombudsman (NIPSO) by Her Majesty on the nomination of the Assembly and for the NIPSO to report to the Assembly and Assembly Committees on a basis to be laid down in Standing Orders. Westminster legislation is likely to be required to enable the Assembly to confidently legislate on a small number of matters within the proposed Bill. Following consideration of this report the Committee will seek the assistance and consent of the Secretary of State in bringing forward relevant legislation.
