In one of his responses on advice of intention to attend, Mr. Mallen gave an elaboration that it is not given only to the management of a centre. Did I pick it up correctly? Who advises the NGOs? To which NGOs did Mr. Mallen refer with regard to advising those in a particular catchment that the Office of the Ombudsman proposes to visit somewhere? He went on to say the office also advises the management to let the friends of the centre know. Will Mr. Mallen be a little clearer as to the methodology of how the friends of the centre are advised? Does the Office of the Ombudsman do it directly or is it dependent on the management of the centre communicating the information to whoever in order to inform the friends?
