Summary version of the report

 

The Finance Committee held a consultation on the draft Public Services Ombudsman Wales Bill.

In May 2015, the Committee published its report, Consideration of Powers: Public Services Ombudsman for Wales, and recommended that a Bill should be introduced into the Assembly. The Committee agreed to consult on a new draft Bill which would re-enact much of the existing Public Services Ombudsman (Wales) Act 2005 but with new provisions recommended by the Committee in its report.

7.1 The Committee considered the responses received to the consultation and agreed to revise the draft Bill in light of the consultation response.
