Government Response to E-mail Queries Better and Faster

8 January 2008 - Governmental bodies respond better and faster to complex e-mail queries from citizens and companies. This is the conclusion of the yearly survey of governmental e-mail achievements, conducted by Overheid heeft Antwoord©.

The percentage of complex questions answered within ten days increased by 19.1 points, yielding a score of 77.9%. The percentage of non-response cases decreased by no less than 38.5 points, to 19.7%. It is especially municipalities and water boards that score better in these respects.
When it comes to non-complex questions, the total shows an increase in speed of response, but here credit is due to ministries, whereas municipalities, provinces and water boards show a deterioration compared to 2006.

The yearly survey of e-mail conduct is part of the Government Monitor, which is performed by e-Government programme Overheid heeft Antwoord© for the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
