18 ANNUAL REPORT 2010 The Ombudsman has established targets for the desired case processing times for complaint cases, partly for rejected cases and partly for substantively ­investigated cases. The target is that 90 per cent of rejected complaint cases should be concluded within two months. Of the complaint cases which are substantively investigated, 75 per cent should be concluded within six months and 90 per cent must be concluded within 12 months. This target was not entirely met in every respect in 2010: 86.2 per cent of rejected complaint cases were concluded within two months (calculated as 60 days) – the target was 90 per cent. By contrast, 76.3 per cent of the substantively ­investigated complaint cases were concluded within six months (calculated as 182 days) – the target of 75 per cent was therefore met. 89.6 per cent of the substantively ­investigated complaint cases were concluded within 12 months, as against a target of 90 per cent.
