OMBUDSMAN - Scotland?

Question

Please note that this question concerns SCOTLAND.

When a person contacts the Commissioner for Local Administration in Scotland (OMBUDSMAN) to make a complaint, against the Local Authority or the Health Service or the Police or some Government Department does the Complainer incur any expences, or are there expences charged to the 'Organisation' or 'Service' , that is the subject of the complaint?

I have searched the web for an answer, but had no luck.

I hope someone reading YAHOO Answers, will come up with the information I am looking for.
