The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman (PHSO) is independent of Government and is accountable directly to Parliament through the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee. Its resources are agreed with HM Treasury and approved by the House of Commons.

The Cabinet Office plays no part in allocating resources to the PHSO.
