in their previous inspection. 62% of those public authorities fully achieved all of their
recommendations; 37% achieved the majority; and in the remaining one case only a
minority of recommendations had been achieved. My office scheduled to re-inspect that
public authority as a matter of priority.
7.57 In 2014, 37 of the recommendations had persisted, in that they were given to the
public authority in a previous inspection, but had not been addressed. These persistent
recommendations were for a wide range of issues, consistent with the proportions
identified overall (Figure 10). I am therefore unable to conclude that public authorities
have greater difficulty implementing some of our recommendations, compared to others.
Inquiries into Specific Issues
7.58 Last year my office conducted a number of inquiries which concentrated on
examining certain areas of the process during inspections or, in one instance, investigating
a matter about which there was significant public concern. This section of my report
provides the details of these inquiries.
