answer text <p>We are focused on ensuring that we continue to deliver justice in a modernised criminal justice system, and are delivering this through investment and effective management of the system.</p><p> </p><p>We are investing £1billion to provide a court system that is accessible to all, works better for everyone, and will ensure our courts are fit for the future.
