detailed advice on how the public can complain about
the conduct of the HSE and other Government Bodies.

Research shows that over half of all complaints (7
out of 12) to the Parliamentary Ombudsman
concerning the conduct of the HSE since 1990 - which
have resulted in a published report - were either
upheld or partially upheld.
These reports - which are available on the CCA website
for the very first time - include complaints about
HSE's failure to investigate injuries and failures
to undertake adequate investigations into workplace
deaths.

Five
of these reports concerned allegations of an inadequate
investigation. Four of these were "partially
upheld". |

concerned allegations of inappropriate refusal
to provide information. Only one of these was
partially upheld, and four were not upheld |

which was partially upheld |
