The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman (PHSO) was set up by Parliament to provide an independent complaint handling service. We make final decisions on complaints that have not been resolved by the NHS in England, UK government departments, and other UK public organisations.
PHSO鈥檚 net spending is broken down into four different spending totals, for which Parliament鈥檚 approval is sought.
The spending totals which Parliament votes are:
鈥� Resource Departmental Expenditure Limit (鈥淩esource DEL鈥�) - a net limit comprising day-to-day running costs. 鈥� Capital Departmental Expenditure Limit (鈥淐apital DEL鈥�) - investment in capital projects such as ICT infrastructure. 鈥� Annually Managed Expenditure (鈥淎ME鈥�) 鈥� to recognise changes in our year end provisions. 鈥� Net Cash Requirement (NCR) - the amount of cash PHSO will pay out in the year.
