Without prejudice to the generality of sub-paragraph (1), a report sent to the Department under that sub-paragraph must contain information about the number of complaints made in relation to the members of each professional body during the year to which the report relates.

The Commissioner may, in addition, report to the Department at any time on any matter relating to the discharge of the Commissioner’s functions.

The Department must lay a copy of every report sent to it under this paragraph before the Assembly.
