REGULATION OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY COURT ADVISORY AND SUPPORT SERVICE, FINANCIAL SERVICES AUTHORITY AND NURSING AND MIDWIFERY COUNCIL

Early day motion 119, tabled 4 December 2008 by Dai Davies (Independent). Signed by 12 members.

That this House believes that the complaints system in place to provide for individual redress for citizens unhappy with the decisions of the Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service, the Financial Services Authority and the Nursing and Midwifery Council respectively is insufficiently independent and empowered to allow complaints to be satisfactorily adjudicated; calls on the Government to review the effectiveness of the complaints and appeal procedures in each case; and further calls on the Government to bring forward proposals for amendments to the Criminal Justice and Court Services Act 2000, the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 and Nursing and Midwifery Order 2001 (S.I. 2002, No. 253) respectively to improve the complaints procedures and to increase public confidence that fair redress can be achieved.
