<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. We also spent £1.6bn on legal aid last year alone, more than
half of which was on criminal legal aid, and are now making changes to ensure it is
available into the future and continues to play an important role in supporting access
to justice. We are also working closely with the Attorney General’s Office and Home
Office to ensure that all the agencies involved in the criminal justice system have
a shared overview of the challenges, opportunities and reforms facing it and an effective
forum for tackling these through the Criminal Justice Board.</p>
