6. The Committee wishes to highlight that it would have been extremely useful if the Committee were to receive more information on substantive reports that may involve the Ministry, Department, the NPA, Legal Aid SA or any other institution or entity that the Committee oversees when the reports are made available. The Committee wants to see the difference that the Public Protector is making but is not notified of any such reports. The Committee is aware that reports are made available on the website and does consult it. The Committee, however, feels that this state of affairs is unsatisfactory and undermines the complementary role that the Chapter 9 institutions are intended to play to assist parliamentary committees in their work. The Committee asks that the Public Protector ensure that it receives such reports and, also, specifically requests that it be given more information relating to investigations involving appeal matters by 19 July 2013. In addition, the Committee is of the view that the House should consider amending the statutory requirement that the Public Protector table all reports with the Speaker so that these can be forwarded to the relevant committees. The OISD could play a facilitative role in this regard.
