<p>The Government is clear that victims of domestic abuse must have access to the
help that they need, including access to legal aid. Legal aid remains available for
victims of domestic violence and child abuse where objective evidence of this abuse
can be provided, subject to means and merits test.</p><p>We are determined to improve
the treatment of domestic abuse victims and have recently consulted on how best to
build on the recent improvements we have made in this area. We are examining responses
received to the consultation, ahead of publishing a formal Government response later
this year.</p>
