The Complaints Handling Scheme Office (CHS), which was part of the Ombudsman's Office but has operated at arms-length from the Office during the past two years, has been merged with the 'Patients Advocacy and Liaison Service' ("PALS"), which has been set up by the Gibraltar Health Authority ("GHA").

A total of 21 complaints received by the Ombudsman's Office related to the GHA as the majority of health complaints (which used to be tackled in previous years by the CHS) are now being dealt with by PALS at the hospital.
