Ordinance evidence the Medical Council does not come under the purview of the Ombudsman
Dear Office of The Ombudsman,
From information I have gathered, the Department of Health provides the Medical Council with a Secretariat/staff for administration and management. The Director of Health "is also the Registrar of Medical Practitioners who is responsible for maintaining the General Register and Specialist Register."

Contrary to the aforementioned, the past and incumbent Ombudsman has rejected my request for Direct Investigation into alleged medical doctor registration anomalies based on the grounds the Medical Council is a stand alone entity separate from the Department of Health, henceforth I ask the Ombudsman to pinpoint the exact ordinance to that effect.
Yours faithfully,
J Ng
