Public Services Ombudsman (Wales) Act 2019

Introduction

Part 3

Section 35 - Compensation for the person aggrieved

137.This section confers a power on listed authorities to pay compensation to a person by or on behalf of whom a complaint has been made to the Ombudsman in respect of the matter, which is the subject of the complaint.

138.Some listed authorities may have existing powers that would be wide enough for this purpose (see for example the power available to various local government bodies acting under section 92 of the Local Government Act 2000). Section 35 ensures that all listed authorities have such a power. The power can be exercised even if the Ombudsman is not actually investigating and reporting on the complaint and so, for example, could be used where the Ombudsman is assisting in negotiating an amicable resolution of the matter.
