For organisational reasons, monitoring visits in the children’s sector were temporarily not covered by targets for case processing times in 2015 and are therefore not included in the table. OTHER FACTS The Ombudsman declared himself disqualified in four complaint cases and one monitoring case in 2015. Parliament’s Legal Affairs Committee assigned these cases to Henrik Bloch Andersen, High Court Judge. The Ombudsman’s office provided secretariat assistance in connection with the processing of the cases. The Inatsisartut (the Parliament of Greenland) asked the Ombudsman to act as ad hoc ombudsman for the Ombudsman for Inatsisartut in four cases in 2015, and the Ombudsman was asked by the Faroese Lagting (the Parliament) to act as ad hoc ombudsman for the Faroese Parliamentary Ombudsman in one case. 119
