About us - Public Service Ombudsman

We independently investigate complaints about the NHS in England and UK government services. Our service is free, fair and open to everyone.


Formerly known as the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman, we changed our name to Public Service Ombudsman on 1 October 2026.

Documents listed here before that date will be published under our previous name.
