Ministers do not assess any aspect of the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman’s performance. The Ombudsman reports to Parliament directly and is held to account through the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee, who hold an annual scrutiny session to evaluate his performance.
