Commissioner for Older People (Wales) Bill [HL]

moved Amendment No. 34:"Page 2, line 10, at end insert—" ““(   )   The results of the Commissioner’s work shall be the subject of an annual report. (   )   The Assembly or another appropriate body investigated by the Commissioner shall publish a response within six months.”” The noble Lord said: The amendment would ensure that the commissioner’s work becomes the subject of an annual report. The Children’s Commissioner for Wales produces an annual report that can then be responded to by the Assembly. We wish to see a similar report produced by the commissioner for the older folk in Wales. As the Minister knows, the ombudsman also publishes an annual report, a point we agreed when the three ombudsmen positions were amalgamated into one. So I propose that we accept the proposal set out in Amendment No. 34. I beg to move.
