The Ombudsman's own 1999 MORI Customer
Satisfaction poll reported a 73% complainant
dissatisfaction level, with 61% describing themselves as
‘very dissatisfied’ with the final outcome of their
complaint.

Even around half of those complainants in the 1999 poll
who represented the very small number who achieved a
finding of maladministration causing injustice, were
dissatisfied with the outcome.

The 1999 MORI poll report described its customer
dissatisfaction findings as 'broadly similar' to the 1995
MORI poll.

The 1999 MORI report states that the sample of names
for customer satisfaction interviews '
was screened for
complainants who might have been emotionally
unsettled or abusive if contacted
'. Who is to say that
dissatisfied complainants with a right to be angry were
not removed by the LGO from this sample under this
pretext?

The LGO has now replaced the Customer Satisfaction
poll with a Customer Awareness poll, and now manages
to avoid such embarrassing statistics. Click

MORI polls.
