From: Anon

Dear Sara Freitag,

I am quite concerned about the response to my OIA regarding information about complaints. The response appears to be inconsistent with ACC's OIA response GOV-028436. In Response GOV-028436 ACC included the Data Analytics on ACC Complaints. This states in bold "ACC complaints are all captured in one system and acted on in a consistent way"

The system captures:
• The date the complaint was received, and date it was resolved
• Whether a Code of Claimant rights was requested, including details of the investigation and the outcome
• Area of the business managing the individual’s claim (if they are a client)
• Full description of the complaint and all correspondence relating to it, including a summary of what has
been taken into consideration as part of the complaint investigation
• The complaint category i.e., the nature of the complaint.

Please provide me with the copies of all Quarterly Customer Feedback Reports from 01/01/2018 to present. If these Quarterly Customer Feedback Reports do not include the "area of the business managing the individuals claim", then please include this information. Please include the number of complaints by also the category of the nature of the complaint.

Thanks.
