Customer Survey Analysis Results 2007

 

A survey form was sent in January 2007 to a random selection of 100 active members of the Local Government Pension Scheme administered by Devon County Council

 

We asked 13 questions in the survey that covered a range of service areas including how easy our information issued is to understand, how we responded to their queries when the member contacted us, our complaint handling process and website awareness.  On 3 of the questions we asked them to rate us on a scale of 1 – 5, 1 being poor and 5 being good.

 

We received 27 responses and an analysis of the results reveals a customer satisfaction rating of 93.8%.

 

A breakdown of the results is as follows.
