Therefore, in addition to the 2011 performance standard return, the Commission asked all EROs for the first time to confirm specifically whether or not they carried out a personal canvass of all non-responders and, if not, to provide an explanation as to the reasons why.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Commission subsequently requested further data from EROs who had not confirmed that they carried out a personal canvass of all non-responders in order to make a better-informed assessment of performance against performance standard 3. This data included the number of non-responding households that were not contacted by a personal canvasser or by any other method (not including forms and reminders); how many of these households had entries confirmed by other records; and how many of those households had entries that could not be confirmed and were removed.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Following this process, the Commission revised the assessments of 51 EROs to ‘below' the standard. This meant that, including the seven EROs who originally reported that they did not meet the standard, there were 58 EROs who did not meet this standard in 2011.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Devon answering member printed Mr Gary Streeter question first answered 08/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 234 label Biography information for Sir Gary Streeter
