Special Report No. 88 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Restructuring the Administration of Student Grants
10:00 am
Ms Jacinta Stewart:
First, I will respond to the question about the reduction in the figure from 100% to 80% of calls to be answered in 20 seconds. We were concerned that it would be very expensive to answer 100% of calls within 30 seconds; therefore, we reduced the timeframe to 20 seconds in respect of 80% of calls in an effort to try to save money.
