Yes. We are pleased with some of the public bodies. In fact, it was unfortunate that complaints about local authorities increased so much because given the pandemic and all that was happening, public bodies and Departments did manage to reduce the number of complaints that came to us, which is a good thing. That is what we want to happen. We want to see these bodies first providing a quality service so that one does not need to complain, but where people do complain, we hope that this is solved as quickly and as informally as possible in the body itself.
