PCC Director, Stephen Abell (pictured), commented: "I hope that these figures show the quality of work currently undertaken by PCC staff in dealing with complaints. This is what the PCC was set up to do, and it this work that needs to be built upon, as the process of reform of the system is considered. The PCC is committed to driving that reform in terms of its practical independence and remit".
