I agree that Ombudsman reform is an important matter. The Government has a number of key priority areas for its legislative programme and as your report notes, wide-scale Ombudsman reform is not included at the current time. The Government continues to consider options for Ombudsman reform. The Queen’s speech announced a Victims Bill and the consultation, Delivering Justice for Victims, sets out HM Government’s intention to remove the requirement for victims of crime to raise a complaint through a Member of Parliament via primary legislation. The Bill will be introduced to Parliament in due course. Should the Government wish to make proposals for wider Ombudsman reform, I will of course engage with your committee, recognising your important role in holding the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman to account.
