Surpassed—99 per cent of Ministerial letters with a two-day turnaround were completed within two calendar days or less.

90 per cent of Parliamentary responses to Questions on Notice prepared within the timeframes agreed with Parliament.

Not met—Two Questions on Notice were received. One was not provided within the agreed timeframe.

90 per cent of economic reports delivered within agreed timeframes and rated excellent or above average.

Not met—80 per cent of reports were delivered within agreed timeframes. This was due to:

• annual reappraisal of content reducing turnaround times in December and January;
  
  
• an increase in the number of data releases issued on the same day, which reduced turnaround time because multiple data releases take longer to prepare than single data releases.

While reports were not rated separately, the overall quality of the reports was rated as 'excellent'
