I have read the ombudsman external evaluation report, and consider it a valuable, well considered and important study. I support the adoption of their recommendations. I would also like to note the recognition of Dr Frank Fowlie in some of the initial establishment of the office. While he was not necessarily a figure popular with some members of the community, his academic work and research was critical to the establishment of the office and has, in my view, been under recognised. Enjoy the meeting in Johannesburg! I will follow you from Oslo.
