Question
What information does the Welsh Government hold regarding the number of complaints made to the Public Services Ombudsman for Wales by or on behalf of care-experienced children and young people in each of the last three years?
Answer
Answered by Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Minister for Social Justice and Equality (Sioned Williams)
The Welsh Government does not hold information regarding the number of complaints made to the Public Services Ombudsman for Wales. The Ombudsman’s legal functions are set out in the Public Services Ombudsman (Wales) Act 2019. The Ombudsman is independent of all government and not answerable to a government minister. The Ombudsman reports annually to the Welsh Parliament on the work done during the year, the complaints service and the use of public money.
There is more information on the Ombudsman’s website here.
