Twelve months is reasonable. My fear is the lack of professionalisation and the fact it is a part-time job for some people. They do not see complaints as a priority and if anything else comes in, it will always have priority over sorting out the complaints system, which will then fall to the bottom. We will never get a robust system established on that basis.
