In 2017/18 a target was set for health boards and trusts to meet the 30 working day target in 75% of cases.  Reports against the target are submitted quarterly and the results monitored to identify any issues and take steps to address them.  The target was set at 75% as some complaints are too complicated to be dealt with within 30 working days.  The target takes into account the need for a good quality response to complaints to help ensure a satisfactory resolution whenever possible.  The key is to keep patients regularly informed if a delay occurs.  Data in respect of concerns that are taken through the NHS redress arrangements are recorded separately.
