Table 12: Outstanding
cases
105. The total number of individuals in the backlog
is 276,460, this is larger than the population of Newcastle upon
Tyne.[69] It is totally
unacceptable that there are so many outstanding cases that the
Agency has yet to work through. We will be monitoring the numbers
of outstanding cases closely and expect to see them decline quickly.
