During discussion about the changes to the state pension age for women, it was stated that the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman had rejected calls for compensation and said the changes were lawful. This was incorrect. The Ombudsman investigation focused on the communication of the changes, not their legality, and in 2024 recommended compensation of between 拢1,000 and 拢2,950 for each person affected.

During widespread coverage of Holocaust Memorial Day, there were some instances where we said 鈥渟ix million people鈥 or 鈥渟ix million mostly Jewish people鈥 had been murdered by the Nazi regime. These were incorrectly worded for which we apologise. They should have referred to 鈥渟ix million Jewish people鈥.

Our coverage of First Minister鈥檚 Questions, in respect of exchanges concerning delayed discharges in hospitals, included a reference to 鈥渢he three biggest party leaders鈥, whereas it would have been better if our scripting had said 鈥渢hree of the biggest party leaders鈥. We are happy to clarify that point.
