Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform

Bi-annual Review 2013: Financial Services Ombudsman

4:00 pm

Mr. William Prasifka:

We try to do that. To give the providers some guidance we break out separately the substantive complaint, for example, should the claim be paid? Let us say, we think the claim did not have to be paid, however, someone was given the wrong information or it was not dealt with expeditiously, we separate that out and, effectively, give that person a sort of customer service award.
