answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/02/2019 answer text <p>My Department has not previously made an assessment of adopting the system of foetal alcohol spectrum disorder courts used in Manitoba.</p><p> </p><p>Courts already make special arrangements for defendants with learning disabilities by adapting the trial process to address their specific communication and other needs. We take this approach for defendants with a variety of special needs; it is generally preferable to specialised courts which create inflexibility in the system, slow down court processes and can negatively impact other court users facing different challenges and vulnerabilities. We are working with NHS England and others to ensure that needs are identified early in the criminal justice process and offenders have access to the right treatment and support once they have been through the courts.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 19/02/2019 15:42:41 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar previous answer version 101489 answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar
