Bullseye?

I have received correspondence regarding the time-scales for the payment of the new Crown Court LF. One client reports some being outstanding 8 weeks after dispatch.
8 weeks is significant is because it represents this years bill “check and payment” target. Now I, for one, am slightly surprised that they are not currently meeting this, though only by low, single percentage points. This not least because it does not seem that demanding to me. I also suspect that some corners are being cut to achieve the current 99% performance against CDS 7 bills, for instance.
My scepticism relates in particular to the LF1s which require only minimal “checking” and certainly no significant taxation style activity. Surely these could be targeted for more speedy return?
