Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 June 2025

Debate

Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) Bill

Contribution

There are also independent oversight arrangements to ensure that the PSFA is held accountable externally to HMICFRS—the constabulary—and the independent person, as well as through established routes for dealing with complaints across government. This includes, for example, the ability for complaints to be referred to the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman, which investigates complaints about the NHS, government departments and other public bodies in the UK. Wherever any complaint or occurrence of misconduct is substantiated, swift action will be taken to redress. This would include dismissal.
