I welcome Mr. Tyndall to the committee. Although this is not an interview, he has been sufficiently quizzed by all. He has expressed some very well thought out ideas and plans for the future, should he be successful, based on experience. Most importantly he said many complaints brought before the Ombudsman should not be there and I agree. Many of them could be resolved before they reach the office. A standardised approach when dealing with the complaints is a great idea. Could Mr. Tyndall extend that to the Departments? They usually go from the public service to the Departments and then to the Ombudsman.
