Ombudsmen face service shake-up

Plans to reform "outdated and inconsistent" public service ombudsmen will make it easier to complain about poor services, the Law Commission said.

The shake-up aims to bring consistency to the way the main public services ombudsmen do business and make it easier for the public to seek redress.

It will also help keep cases out of court, the Law Commission, which reviews and recommends reform of the law in England and Wales, said.
