This figure is higher than the previous year (895). However, as the number of requests has
increased by 15% this year, the overall error percentage has actually reduced from 0.18% in 2011
to 0.17% in 2012. I am satisfied that the overall error rate is still low when compared to the
number of requests that were made during the course of the reporting year.
