Public Sector Ombudsman
The next item is the consultation on the public sector ombudsman. I suggest that we take evidence from a range of organisations at our meeting on 12 December. We will need to consider our response at the same meeting, but we have done that before, so it should not be a problem. I ask members either to accept the paper or to amend the list of witnesses.
We are inviting the Minister for Finance and Local Government, the commissioner for local administration in Scotland, the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities, the Scottish Consumer Council and Citizens Advice Scotland to give oral evidence. We are also requesting written evidence from the health service commissioner for Scotland, the housing association ombudsman for Scotland and the Scottish parliamentary commissioner for administration. Are members content with those proposals, including the proposal that we will consider our response at the same meeting?
Members indicated agreement.
I remind members that we do not have a meeting next Tuesday because I will be in Northern Ireland and if I am not here, the committee cannot meet.
You have changed your tune, convener.
Meeting adjourned.
