The CCA has identified twelve complaints since 1990 concerning the HSE that have resulted in a set of findings published by the ombudsman.

The findings are either published in a summary form or in a full report.

Below you can access the summary reports of all the cases.

However, you can only access the full reports if they have been formally ‘laid before parliament’ - and not all of them have been. This depends on whether the Ombudsman considers it appropriate to do so.

When the report has been ‘laid before parliament’ (and subsequently published), you can access them here. Otherwise they are not available.

The only way of accessing the full reports concerning the ‘unpublished’ cases is through contacting the complainant or the MP involved in making the complaint on the complainants behalf.

The table below explains what is available. Click on the case number to see the summary, click on ‘download’ to download the full report. All the reports that can be downloaded are in "word"
