The Parliamentary Ombudsman's review of complaint handling 2010-11

Complaints investigated and reported on by government department

Uphold rate

We upheld 100 per cent of complaints about a number of departments and public bodies although often the numbers of complaints involved are very small. The departments with the lowest uphold rate were HM Revenue & Customs, with 59 per cent of complaints investigated partly or fully upheld, the Department for Transport and the Department for Work and Pensions with 67 per cent and 72 per cent respectively.
