**In October, we acknowledged 86% of complaints within 5 working days, slightly below September but still above our 85% target. On average, it took us 3.9 days to acknowledge a complaint, which is quicker than last month. Our performance over the year continues to show steady improvement.
***In October, the average time to close complaints increased from 23.1 to 25.5 working days due to a higher volume of complaints, which is typical as we move into Winter. We resolved more complaints than any month since June, but demand still exceeded capacity. The team improved the number of complaints closed within 10 days, but overall handling times went up. Planned changes to our process and system in January should help reduce these times.
