Mellor said: "I urge all permanent secretaries heading government departments to ensure complaint information is shared and analysed at board level. Department and agency boards should be looking at the number of complaints they get, what any trends say about their organisation, and what action needs to be taken to address the issues people are complaining about. By doing this, complaints can help to drive real improvements in the services public sector organisations deliver."
