Issue - meetings

That the report be received and noted.

The Deputy Monitoring Officer presented a report on changes arising from the Public Services Ombudsman for Wales (PSOW) Bill if this was to be made into law in its current form.  The report addressed a query raised at the previous meeting on the provision for oral complaints and highlighted proposed additional powers for the Ombudsman to initiate his own investigations, with an example given on how this would work.

In response to comments from Mr. Robert Dewey on the need to make provision for oral complaints, the Deputy Monitoring Officer explained that further detail on the criteria was awaited from the PSOW.

RESOLVED:

That the report be received and noted.
