Lord Hunt of Kings Heath – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department of Health

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Hunt of Kings Heath on 2016-03-22.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the leadership of the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman.

Lord Prior of Brampton

The Government has expressed its concern on behalf of patients about some of the things that have been happening. It is important that patients have confidence in the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman, but the Ombudsman is independent of Government, accountable directly to Parliament. This is therefore a matter for the relevant Select Committee of the House of Commons.
