Today we were at the launch of Northern Ireland Public Services Ombudsman (NIPSO) new complaint handling rules for the health and social care sector. These new procedures will help streamline complaints handling across the sector.

NI Audit Office Having Dorinnia Carville, Comptroller & Auditor General at our HSC MCHP launch yesterday reinforced our shared commitment to oversight, good complaints handling and improving public services.

Waste crime is a major challenge with a significant cost to both our environment and public finances. Current measures for regulating and inspecting the waste sector are not achieving best value for money and leave the environment at risk. Full report is available on our website.

The existing approach to regulating waste requires significant improvement. Current operation of inspections does not adequately identify or discourage criminality. Financial penalties are a fraction of the costs of dealing with the waste legally. Full report on our website

Our report on Waste Crime in NI examines the NI Environment Agency’s approach to preventing and tackling illegal waste disposal, which is roughly estimated to cost around £34 million annually. Read the full report on our website

Major IT projects take close to 6.5yrs from design to implementation. We recommend planning to identify systems across the civil service that are coming to the end of their intended life, to ensure they are maintained or replaced well in advance of the current contract expiring

Our report looks at a portfolio of 29 major IT projects across NI government departments. The portfolio has a total estimated cost of £5.2bn – over 2/3 of the costs & nearly 1/2 the projects relate to the Department of Health & Department of Finance. Full report on our website

Delays in delivering major IT projects result in contracts for existing systems being repeatedly extended well beyond their intended life – on average by about 8yrs. Across 5 projects which each experienced delays, contract extensions cost over £573m. Full report on our website
