The Committee heard that the @SPSO_Ombudsman is facing “significant” challenges, as it deals with a 40% increase in complaints. Paul McFadden said the pressure and strain on public services was part of the reason, as well as the rise in the use of AI.
Paul McFadden @SPSO_Ombudsman told the Committee that complaint wait times were “always a focus”. Currently people submitting complaints about public services are being advised of a 16 week wait time – which Mr McFadden warned was likely to rise due to the volume of cases.
We’ll hear from the @SPSO_Ombudsman tomorrow as we carry out our annual scrutiny of the independent complaints body. Watch live on SPTV from 9:30am. Full info on our webpage: ow.ly/AIYA50XzX0g
Standards Commission for Scotland told the Committee the public had the “right to expect” action against councillors and members of public bodies who act unethically. Exec Director Lorna Johnston said the code of conduct also offered protection to those in public office.
MSPs heard the rise in the use of AI for complaint generation meant “hundreds of pages” were being submitted to the Ethical Standards Commissioner. Ian Bruce also said that two-thirds of complaints were dismissed, with complaints often driven by “disgruntled” constituents.
Ethical Standards Commissioner told the Committee about a “significant” rise in the number of complaints received this year. The independent regulator investigates complaints about the behaviour of MSPs, councillors and public body board members.
