<table><tbody><tr><td><p>The number of staff employed by the Crown Prosecution Service
(CPS) during the periods specified is available in the table below. During this period
the CPS has undertaken continuous improvement and modernisation programmes to improve
efficiency and effectiveness. These included digitalisation, development of a national
resourcing model, standard operating practices, resource efficiency measures, smarter/remote
working practices, and establishment of remote teams. As a national service for England
and Wales, the consequence of these measures is that we now have the ability to shift
work to where capacity resides which is both much more efficient, and also fairer
on the workforce. <table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Financial Year Q1</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Average
