<p>Information on how many hearings held remotely since the start of the COVID-19
pandemic for spoken and non-spoken interpretation is provided below. The difference
in start dates reflect the fact that thebigword’s system did not start recording any
remote bookings until 30<sup>th</sup> March. We expect that very few took place before
this date.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>Dates</p></td><td><p>Number
of telephone interpreting hearings</p></td><td><p>Number of video remote interpreting
hearings</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>thebigword – spoken interpretation</p></td><td><p>30.3.2020
– 12.6.2020</p></td><td><p>2769</p></td><td><p>1470</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Clarion
uk – Non- spoken interpretation</p></td><td><p>23.3.2020 – 12.6.2020</p></td><td><p>N/A</p></td><td><p>288</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
</p><p>The Ministry of Justice does not collect data on all hearings that have been
rescheduled because an interpreter was unavailable. HMCTS performance data, including
ineffective trial rates due to interpreter availability, is currently not available
for this period.</p>
