answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2016 answer text <p>The draft Bill requires the Ombudsman to send a statement setting out her findings and any recommendations to the department or public body in question. As now, it will be for the department or public body to decide whether and how to give effect to any such recommendations. The legislation retains existing powers that allow the Ombudsman to draw attention to unremedied hardship or injustice where she considers it has not been or will not be put right.</p><p>This is a significant power that includes the ability to require information about how a designated authority will respond to the Ombudsman's findings and to bring that information to the attention of others – for example, by laying the report before Parliament or sending it to members of a local authority.</p> answering member printed Baroness Chisholm of Owlpen question first answered 21/12/2016 13:17:07 answering member 4330 label Biography information for Baroness Chisholm of Owlpen
