Ombudsman’s Determination

Outcome

Mrs H’s complaint against the Committee and RPMI is partly upheld, but there is a part of the complaint I do not agree with. To put matters right (for the part that is upheld), the Committee RPMI shall pay Mrs H £1,000 for serious non-financial injustice.

My reasons for reaching this decision are explained in more detail below.
