521) Accountability 2: The BIOA Has Considerable Experience And Expertise.

Dear Mr Clark,

According to the Government's, "New Ombudsman schemes: guidance" (Sept 21st 2010) the British and Irish Ombudsman Association - now re-branded as The Ombudsman Association (OA) - has;
"considerable experience and expertise, gained since its inception in 1993, in the establishment and running of Ombudsman schemes."
(www.gov.uk/government/publications/new-ombudsman-schemes-guidance)

The BIOA',s (OA's) Chair is also the CEO and Chief Ombudsman of Ombudsman Services. He has an Independent Assessor. In her, "First and final report" the organisation's Independent Assessor stated;
"I was concerned by the scale and significance of the failings of certain cases. I was surprised to find such instances of maladministration within an Ombudsman organisation."

The scale and significance of such failings + maladministration = considerable experience and expertise. Extraordinary.

Q Mr Clark, if your Government is going to cull badgers on the flimsiest of evidence shouldn't you now, at long last, take action against maladministrating ombudsmen the scale and significance of whose failings are now well documented?

The Ombudsmans61percent Campaign is seeking:
- answers from Vince Cable, Norman Lamb, Mark Prisk, Francis Maude, Michael Fallon, Jonathan May, Monk and Partners, Gillian Fleming, The Rev Smith, Dame Janet Finch, Dame Julie Mellor, Jo Swinson, Nick Clegg, Sajid Javid, Tom Cobley and yourself.
- a public inquiry into the workings of Ombudsman Services:Property  (a company which formerly traded as the SOS before being re-branded) and the role of the RICS.
- compensation for the victims of its ombudsman's illogical Final Decisions and its executives' maladministration.
- the setting up of a truly, "fair" and "independent" redress scheme free from RICS malign influence.
