-----campaign on his or her case. Where the Ombudsman identifies concerns, it is important for us as a committee that we not let them stop at our door. We must ensure that they are brought to the public service providers. I propose that we write a letter regarding the concerns outlined in the paragraph on long-running schemes, etc., to the Departments to which they are relevant and ask them to revert to us with their opinions on the issues in question. Given the fact that this is the first annual report of the Ombudsman in the committee's time, I would hate to believe that we might not bring the issues highlighted in it to the attention of those who make the decisions and wield influence.
