• (1) This section applies where it appears to the Commissioner that a case which he is—

• (a) examining in accordance with regulations made under section 74, or

• (b) considering whether to examine in accordance with such regulations,

relates to or raises a matter which could be the subject of an investigation by the Public Services Ombudsman for Wales (the ‘connected matter’).

• (2) Where the Commissioner considers it appropriate, he must inform the Ombudsman about the connected matter.

• (3) Where the Commissioner considers that the case also relates to or raises a matter which he is entitled to examine himself (the ‘children matter’), he must also if he considers it appropriate—

• (a) inform the Ombudsman about the Commissioners proposals for examination of the case, and

• (b) consult the Ombudsman about those proposals.

• (4) Where the Commissioner and the Ombudsman consider that they are entitled to examine, respectively, the children matter and the connected matter they may—

• (b) act together in the examination of those matters; and

• (c) prepare and publish a joint report containing their respective conclusions in relation to the matters they have each examined.

• (5) Where the Commissioner considers—

• (a) that the case is not one which relates to or raises a matter that he is entitled to examine himself, and

• (b) that it is appropriate to do so,

he must inform the person whose case it is, or another person interested in it that he thinks fit, about how to secure referral to the Ombudsman of the connected matter.
