Feedback varies across the various measures in the survey, for example, advisor knowledge/attitude, service delivery inside and outside the one stop shops. This feedback was used to identify opportunities to improve processes and service area fulfilment. Associated improvement plans are developed and reviewed regularly within this framework to track improvements and changes to be implemented. The overall satisfaction figure for the Liverpool Direct contact centre was 94.3%

What are the changes to the service brought about as a result of the consultation:

A more robust review procedure has been established, including an improvement plan, that is owned and managed within the Chief Executive's office portfolio and will feed into overall user focus.
