Some 135 members of the Public and Commercial Services union (PCS) working for the ombudsman ? which investigates complaints from the public about government departments, other public bodies and the NHS ? are voting in response to a restructuring exercise which the union believes is aimed at cutting staff, rather than improving service delivery.
