This goes against the requirement of the Public Services Ombudsman For Wales Act 2005, which states that Section 16 reports, which are in the public Interest, must be publicised by the Council and the Ombudsman on his website.<br /><br />Delyth JenkinsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118857435900510280.post-59721517396559728302015-02-18T20:04:39.555+00:002015-02-18T20:04:39.555+00:00Cneifiwr 19.06
