/><p>(b) The overall spend per completed case for each year since 2010-11 is as follows:-</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>2010-11</p></td><td><p>£477</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011-12</p></td><td><p>£470</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012-13</p></td><td><p>£503</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013-14</p></td><td><p>£511</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014-15</p></td><td><p>£550</p></td></tr></tbody></table><br
/><p>(c) The overall spend per full-time equivalent staff member in (i) the Crown
Court and (ii) magistrates' courts was, in 2014-15:</p><p>(i) Crown Court £96,532</p><p>(ii)
Magistrates Court £58,924</p><br /><p>It is important to note that these are not staff
costs but represent the full cost of prosecuting cases in the Magistrates and Crown
Courts. These costs include administrative overheads.</p><br /><p>Prior to 2014-15
the CPS did not distinguish staff expenditure between Magistrates’ and Crown Court
cases, so we are unable to apportion spend to full-time equivalents by these categories.</p>
