<p>In February 2019 the Post Implementation Review (PIR) of the Legal Aid, Sentencing
and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 (LASPO) was published. This included an evidence
based assessment of the impact of changes to civil fees made as part of The Legal
Aid Reform Programme.</p><p> </p><p>The PIR found that for the vast majority of England
and Wales there is sufficient coverage of legal provision. This is regularly monitored
by the LAA and action is taken where gaps in services are identified or where demand
is greater than the available supply.</p><p> </p><p>It is also worth noting that wherever
you are in England and Wales, legal advice for housing remains available through the
telephone gateway.</p>
