Purpose of the consultation
The
Equality, Local Government and
Communities Committee undertook an inquiry into the general principles of
the Public
Services Ombudsman (Wales) Bill. Further details about the Bill and the
accompanying Explanatory
Memorandum can be found on the Bill
page.
Terms of
reference
The
Committee’s terms of reference for its inquiry were:
To
consider —
- the general principles of the Public
Services Ombudsman (Wales) Bill and the need for legislation to deliver
the stated policy intention,
- the provisions of the Bill which set out
the new powers for the Ombudsman to:
- accept oral complaints;
- undertake own initiative
investigations;
- investigate private medical treatment
including nursing care in a public/private health pathway;
- undertake a role in relation to
complaints handling standards and procedures.
- any potential barriers to the
implementation of the Bill’s provisions and whether the Bill takes account
of them,
- the appropriateness of the powers in the
Bill for Welsh Ministers to make subordinate legislation (as set out in
Chapter 6 of Part 1 of the Explanatory Memorandum).
- whether there are any unintended
consequences arising from the Bill, and,
- the financial implications of the Bill
(as set out in Part 2 of the Explanatory Memorandum).
