How long the States of Guernsey takes to answer a Freedom of Information request, by year

Median and mean working days from submission to response for Freedom of Information requests to the States of Guernsey, by year of submission, 2014 to 2026, against the Code of Practice's 20-working-day target.

Read this with the chart: Working days are a plain Monday-to-Friday count with no States of Guernsey public-holiday calendar applied, so every figure slightly overstates true elapsed working days. The target is a published Code of Practice target, not a legal deadline: Guernsey has no statutory Freedom of Information law.
