(1) The Ombudsman must prepare a report on any complaint he has investigated under section 9D.
(2) The report must state—
(a) what findings the Ombudsman has made;
(b) whether he considers the complaint should be upheld in whole or part;
(c) if he does, what if any action he recommends should be taken by the Commission or the Lord Chancellor as a result of the complaint.
(3) The recommendations that may be made under subsection (2)(c) include recommendations for the payment of compensation.
