Therefore, if Ferguson Marine spends more money, will that need to come back to Parliament? You say that it must hit milestone targets.

On average, how long does it take to deal with a complaint—from somebody making the complaint, to informing somebody that there is a complaint against them and then to conclusion?

You have said that some complaints are obviously more serious than others. Is there support in place for people who make complaints or for people who have a complaint made against them?

The Auditor General reported some progress in producing a performance management framework that tracks progress against the business plan. The commissioner’s office plans to introduce performance indicators to track complaints handling by 2023. Can you give us the latest position regarding the performance management framework and performance indicators?

That takes me on to my next couple of questions, which are on policing. Will the work that is planned on policing include a comprehensive review of governance, as recommended by the Public Audit and Post-legislative Scrutiny Committee in its legacy paper?

Good morning, Mr Bruce. You mentioned that the commissioner’s office has been granted additional funding, and you spoke about workforce planning. In answer to a question from Roz McCall, you also said that you have three new staff in place. Could you tell us a wee bit more about progress in recruiting and training to build capacity and how that is helping to address the backlog of cases?

When we discussed your strategic priorities and work programme in September 2021, we raised the possibility of using section 22 reports to highlight good practice across the public sector where appropriate. Do you have the scope to do that—if you hope to do that—if and when the occasion arises?
