The Ombudsman (Amendment) Act 2012 brings over 180 additional public bodies under the remit of the Ombudsman with effect from 1 May 2013. It is not possible to supply a definitive list of these public bodies as the Act provides for a general description of the types of “reviewable agencies” that will come within remit. However, this Office has compiled an indicative list of these public bodies. The Ombudsman can examine complaints in relation to the ‘administrative actions’ of these public bodies which occur on or after 1 May 2013 only.
The Act contains a specific list of public bodies which are not within the Ombudsman’s remit.
