BackArlene Brock, Ombudsman for Bermuda, issued an Annual Report for the 2012 calendar year. Ms. Brock notes: “This report comments on the ongoing denial of the government that the UK Environmental Charter constitutes a legal obligation. It also canvasses issues such as whistle-blowing, public access to information and steps for resolving complaints before coming to the Ombudsman’s office”.
Ms. Brock adds: “The Annual Report also describes the Ombudsman’s new day-long complaint handling workshop for government departments (which can get in touch directly with her office to schedule).”
Other topics included in the report are notes on the quadrennial conference of the International Ombudsman Institute, the value of apology, the right to privacy and an extract from the Ombudsman’s recent review of the Corporate and Clinical Governance Review of the Bermuda Hospital’s Board. The report can be found on the website of the Ombudsman for Bermuda.
