Mr. Shipley, you're correct, there isn't one. Ombudsmen don't have binding authority over a particular department; they just advocate. So Mr. Frost's initial concern about an ombudsman maybe being cumbersome or bureaucratic, or becoming another level of bureaucracy, was the initial concern that some people had about it. But most people I've spoken to have said that maybe another advocate, or another voice, to address your concerns would be a good thing.
