star this property answer text <p>Ensuring access to justice is a fundamental principle of the Government and judiciary’s £1bn reform programme to transform our courts and tribunals system. The reform programme aims to expand the ways users can resolve their justice needs, while maintaining and improving traditional methods for those who need them. We are designing the reformed services to be accessible for all, including older users, and to provide users with options on how they can interact with our services as well as access appropriate support, should they need to do so.</p><p> </p><p>Many users will be able to benefit from new digital services and, if needed, will be able to seek telephone or face to face support to help them to use these. This ‘assisted digital’ support is currently in place for the ‘Application’ stage for our reformed services for Divorce, Civil Money Claims, Social Security &amp; Child Support Tribunal, Probate and the Single Justice Service. Where assisted digital support is not appropriate or sufficient, users will continue to be able to use traditional methods, such as paper forms, which are also being improved and made more accessible.</p>

star this property answer text <p>Out of hours general practitioner (GP) provision in Tendring is commissioned by North East Essex Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) as part of the out of hours service for the north east Essex district. The CCG advises that to assist in meeting the high demand for the service, the number of advanced nurse practitioners has been increased to complement and enhance GP cover. The out of hours service is currently running effectively, meeting 19 of the 20 performance targets around timing and ease of access to the service. The provider is narrowly missing the required standard for assessing urgent cases within 60 minutes, but it is implementing a detailed action plan to meet this target, which is being monitored by the CCG.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The CCG and its partners are always looking at opportunities to improve the service further. For example, the service has recently begun to use tablet computers to capture real time feedback from patients on the service they have just received. This feedback is used to identify ways to further improve the GP out of hours provision.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>

star this property answer text <p>The Government is committed to tackling the appalling crime of domestic violence and abuse. It is actively pursuing ways in which domestic violence and abuse can be prevented in the first place, doing even more to help victims, and <br>bringing more perpetrators to justice. In September 2013, the Home Secretary commissioned Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) to undertake a comprehensive review on how the police deal with domestic abuse. HMIC published its findings in March 2014 and highlighted serious police failings. In response, the Home Secretary has established a national oversight group to ensure that the police change the way they respond to domestic abuse, and made <br>clear to all chief constables that every police force must have an action plan in place. All forces have now produced plans that are being reviewed by HMIC.<br><br>The Government is also committed to providing the police with the tools they need to tackle domestic violence and abuse, and to ensure victims have the support they need to rebuild their lives. On 8 March, we announced the national <br>roll-out of Domestic Violence Protection Orders and the Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme across England and Wales. The Government has additionally recently consulted on whether the law needs to be strengthened by creating a <br>specific offence of domestic abuse to offer the best possible protection to victims. That consultation has closed and responses are currently being analysed.<br><br>We have also ring-fenced £40 million of funding for specialist local support services and national helplines over this Parliament. <br><br>Latest data from the Crown Prosecution Service Violence against Women and Girls Crime Report 2013-2014 shows the volume of domestic violence referrals from the police rising to 103,569, the highest level ever. Prosecutions and convictions have risen by over 10% in the last year, with the conviction rate at its highest ever level at 74.6%.</p>
