Book Synopsis HC 793 - Follow up to PHSO Report of an Investigation into a Complaint About HS2 Ltd by : Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee
Download or read book HC 793 - Follow up to PHSO Report of an Investigation into a Complaint About HS2 Ltd written by Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2016 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In November 2015, the PHSO published its report of the results of an investigation into a complaint about High Speed 2 Ltd (HS2 Ltd). The report dealt with a group of six families whose small community faced break-up under Government plans for the new high speed rail network. The report identified a series of failings in communication and engagement and in complaints handling which amounted to "maladministration" in the opinion of the Ombudsman. In response to the Ombudsman's report, HS2 Ltd has apologised and has since made a number of payments to those affected totalling £10,500. Some improvements have been made to how the organisation interacts with the public, and commitments were made, both by the Chief Executive of HS2 Ltd and by the Minister of State for Transport, to take a personal interest in the matter. However, having received a large body of evidence that is highly critical of HS2 Ltd, we remain unconvinced that the necessary fundamental changes have taken place. The continuing existence of a culture of defensive communication and misinformation within a public body, responsible for the delivery of such a large and highly controversial project, is not acceptable. We urge those in senior positions to recognise that this is a matter of primary importance. Unless those responsible for delivering HS2 understand that first and foremost they serve the public, and take action to reflect this, then they will continue to be vulnerable to the criticism that they have disregard for members of the public who are impacted by this large-scale infrastructure project.

Download or read book HC 432 - Follow-up to PHSO Report: Dying without dignity written by Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2015 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Failings in the care provided to people as they approach the end of their life can result in needless pain and suffering. In Dying without dignity, the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman (http://www.ombudsman.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0019/32167/Dying_without_dignity_report.pdf) identified systemic issues affecting the quality and delivery of end of life care and used case studies to show how patients - and those close to them -had been affected by poor care. We welcome the report, which concluded that the NHS needed to improve in a number of areas and recommended that the report's findings be used to inform a new approach to end of life care. Witnesses told us that they were aware of the issues raised in the report and that the focus must now be on implementing change. We agree. We want good quality, timely and compassionate care to be available to all those who need it at the end of their life. In this Report, we outline the key areas in which we expect to see significant and fast-paced improvements. These are: (i) culture, behaviour and training; (ii) the provision of integrated, 24/7 palliative and End of Life Care (EOLC) services; and (iii) leadership and commissioning.

Book Synopsis The Pluralist Right to Health Care by : Michael DaSilva
Download or read book The Pluralist Right to Health Care written by Michael DaSilva and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2021-11-01 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health rights are a common but controversial legal phenomenon. Every country is signatory to a treaty that incorporates health rights, yet existing health rights do not fit easily into the traditional "claim right" model, and questions remain over how to theoretically incorporate health rights into domestic systems. The Pluralist Right to Health Care addresses this incongruity between theory and practice with an account of the right to health care that is both philosophically and practically sound. Utilizing a pluralist framework, Michael Da Silva argues that the right to health care is best understood as a set of claims to related ends: the goods necessary for a dignified existence, procedural fairness in determining what other goods to provide and in the provision of goods, and a functioning health care system. Through philosophical reasoning, analysis of relevant international human rights law, and a close study of the Canadian case, The Pluralist Right to Health Care provides crucial insight into the potential of law and policy to improve health care systems in Canada and beyond.

Book Synopsis The Ombudsman in the Modern State by : Matthew Groves
Download or read book The Ombudsman in the Modern State written by Matthew Groves and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-04-07 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ombudsmen are a global phenomenon. They are also a critical part of the public law frameworks of modern liberal democracies. This is the first edited collection to examine the place of the ombudsman in the modern state. It brings together key international scholars to discuss current and future challenges for the Ombudsman institution and the systems of government within which they operate. The book is international in scope with authors heralding from most continents - Canada, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, South Africa, Germany, and Austria. This global analysis is both in-depth and expansive in its coverage of the operation of Ombudsmen across civil and common law legal systems. The book has two key themes: - The enduring question of the location and operation of Ombudsmen within public law systems in a changing state, and - The challenges faced by Ombudsmen in contemporary governance. This collection adds to the public law scholarship by addressing a common problem faced by all avenues of public law review – the evolving nature of modern public administration.
Book Synopsis The Ombudsman Enterprise and Administrative Justice by : Trevor Buck
Download or read book The Ombudsman Enterprise and Administrative Justice written by Trevor Buck and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-17 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The statutory duty of public service ombudsmen (PSO) is to investigate claims of injustice caused by maladministration in the provision of public services. This book examines the modern role of the ombudsman within the overall emerging system of administrative justice and makes recommendations as to how PSO should optimize their potential within the wider administrative justice context. Recent developments are discussed and long standing questions that have yet to be adequately resolved in the ombudsman community are re-evaluated given broader changes in the administrative justice sector. The work balances theory and empirical research conducted in a number of common law countries. Although there has been much debate within the ombudsman community in recent years aimed at developing and improving the practice of ombudsmanry, this work represents a significant advance on current academic understanding of the discipline.

Book Synopsis HC 523 - The Future of the Union, Part One: English Votes for English Laws by : Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee
Download or read book HC 523 - The Future of the Union, Part One: English Votes for English Laws written by Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2016 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is highly regrettable that the 1997 Parliament voted to proceed with devolution to Scotland and Wales without proper consideration being given to the well rehearsed West Lothian Question. It was a failure to do so then that has led to the difficulties that the present Government is now seeking to address through EVEL. As devolution from the UK level to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland continues to develop, there is a growing body of evidence that suggests an increasing impatience with the constitutional anomalies to which this gives rise in England. This was amplified during the 2015 General Election campaign, in which the Conservatives focused voters' minds on the possibility of SNP MPs holding the balance of power. Of all the potential remedies to the "English Question" that have arisen from devolution, the principle of English Votes for English Laws commands consistent and substantial popular support. Put simply, there appears to be a strong English demand for English Votes for English Laws. As we heard from Professor Wyn Jones,"on balance, [the data suggest] that there is support for the principle of English votes for English laws in Scotland and in Wales." As yet however, we have very little evidence about whether this support extends to the present scheme and its effects. Nor, as is explored later in this Report, does this support extend to any political party in the House of Commons other than the Conservative Party.

Book Synopsis Care and Compassion? by : Great Britain. Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman
Download or read book Care and Compassion? written by Great Britain. Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2011 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this report, "Care and compassion?" the Health Service Ombudsman says the NHS is failing to treat older people with care, compassion, dignity and respect. The report is based on the findings of ten independent investigations into complaints about NHS care for people over the age of 65 across England. It serves to illuminate the gulf between the principles and values of the NHS Constitution and the felt reality of being an older person in the care of the NHS in England. The Ombudsman's findings show how ten older patients suffered unnecessary pain, indignity and distress while in the care of the NHS. Her investigations highlight common failures in pain control, discharge arrangements, communication with patients and their relatives and ensuring adequate nutrition. These are not isolated cases. Of the nearly 9,000 properly made complaints to the Ombudsman about the NHS last year, 18 per cent were about the care of older people. The Ombudsman accepted twice as many cases for investigation about older people as for all other age groups put together. The findings reveal an attitude - both personal and institutional - which fails to recognise the humanity and individuality of the people concerned and to respond to them with sensitivity, compassion and professionalism. These accounts present a picture of NHS provision that is failing to meet even the most basic standards of care. The NHS must close the gap between the promise of care and compassion outlined in its Constitution and the injustice that many older people experience.

Book Synopsis Delivering Dispute Resolution by : Christopher Hodges
Download or read book Delivering Dispute Resolution written by Christopher Hodges and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-10-17 with total page 643 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reviews the techniques, mechanisms and architectures of the way disputes are processed in England and Wales. Adopting a comparative approach, it evaluates the current state of the main different types of dispute resolution systems, including business, consumer, personal injury, family, property, employment and claims against the state. It provides a holistic overview of the whole system and suggests both systemic and detailed reforms. Examining dispute resolution pathways from users' perspectives, the book highlights options such as ombudsmen, regulators, tribunals and courts as well as mediation and other ADR and ODR approaches. It maps numerous sectoral developments to see if learning might be spread to other sectors. Several recurrent themes arise, including the diversification in the use of techniques; adoption of digital, online and artificial technology; cost and funding constraints; the emergence of new intermediaries; the need to focus accessibility arrangements for people and businesses that need help with their problems; and identifying effective ways for achieving behavioural change. This timely study analyses the shift from adversarial legalism to softer means of resolving social problems, and points to a major opportunity to devise an imaginative and holistic strategic vision for the jurisdiction. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's International Arbitration online service.
Book Synopsis No-Fault Approaches in the NHS by : Sonia Macleod
Download or read book No-Fault Approaches in the NHS written by Sonia Macleod and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-01-12 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how concerns can be raised about the NHS, why raising concerns hasn't always improved standards, and how a no-fault open culture approach could drive improvements. The book describes a wide range of mechanisms for raising concerns about the NHS, including complaints, the ombudsman, litigation, HSIB, and the major inquiries since 2000, across the various UK jurisdictions. The NHS approach is contextualised within the broader societal developments in dispute resolution, accountability, and regulation. The authors take a holistic view, and outline practical solutions for reforming how the NHS responds to problems. These should improve the situation for those raising concerns and for those working within the NHS, as well as providing cost savings. The no-fault approaches proposed in the book provide long-term sustainable solutions to systemic problems, which are particularly timely given the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the NHS. The book will be of interest to academics, researchers, ADR practitioners, practising lawyers, and policy makers.

Book Synopsis A Manifesto for Ombudsman Reform by : Richard Kirkham
Download or read book A Manifesto for Ombudsman Reform written by Richard Kirkham and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-04-06 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book seeks to persuade policy-makers and legislators of the need for legislative reform of the ombudsman sector, and to evidence the ways in which such reformative legislation can be designed. In pursuing this goal, this edited collection represents an academic response to a challenge laid down by the current Parliamentary Ombudsman in February 2018, at a JUSTICE event. It draws on the original research of the authors and bases its proposals for reform on a fundamental re-assessment of the focus and purpose of ombudsman systems. A Manifesto for Ombudsman Reform deals with key, recurring controversies in ombudsman scholarship, including the role that the ombudsman should be fulfilling, the procedures it should employ, the powers that are necessary for effectiveness, and the means of ensuring both freedom of operation and accountability. It will inform academic and policy debates about the future of the ombudsman institution in the UK and its analysis should be of interest to academics and policy-makers in other jurisdictions.
