To ask the Scottish Government, what responsibilities the Scottish Public Services Ombudsman (SPSO) has in the reviewing of complaints made about the Care Inspectorate and what information it has regarding whether the SPSO plans to review these.

The answer

Answered by Aileen Campbell on 1 Nov 2016 · 22 days after it was lodged, on time

The Scottish Public Bodies Ombudsman (SPSO) reports directly to the Scottish Parliament therefore this is not a matter for the Scottish Government. The member might wish to write to the SPSO directly on this issue.
