answer text <p>Average waiting times for probate grants, from July 2019 to September 2021, are published on gov.uk via Family Court Statistics Quarterly (Table 25): https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/family-court-statistics-quarterly.</p><p> </p><p>Information covering up to December 2021 will be published on 31 March.</p><p> </p><p>More recent management information published by HMCTS (which does not go through the same level of quality assurance and analysis as the Family Court Statistics Quarterly) provides waiting time information up to December 2021. See: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/hmcts-management-information-december-2021.</p><p> </p><p>The improvement of the online probate system remains a priority for HMCTS to ensure more applications can be issued first time and resources can be focused on reducing waiting times. HMCTS continues to collaborate with its users to enhance the service and the latest information on this can be found at: https://insidehmcts.blog.gov.uk/2022/02/28/working-together-to-avoid-delays-to-probate-applications/ (opens in a new tab).</p><p>Prior to 2019, applicants had to travel to town centre locations to swear an oath before a court officer or a commissioner for oaths. This could involve multiple visits as any issues with the application were largely dealt with before the application was submitted to the court. Reforms in 2019 saw this process replaced with statements of truth, removing the burden of travelling to swear an oath, and enabling applicants to apply online from the comfort of their own home. This change in process means the point systems recording the start of waiting times fundamentally changed and therefore comparable waiting time data over the last five years is not available.</p>

answer text <p>The current five year United Kingdom Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) strategy was published at the end of 2013. Work is underway to consider the priorities and focus for a refreshed strategy and national action plan for publication at the end of 2018. The refreshed strategy will continue to focus on preventing infections as one of its key pillars.</p><p> </p><p>The current AMR programme has an ambition to halve healthcare associated Gram–negative blood stream infections by 2020/2021. NHS Improvement leads this work and has included hand hygiene in its work programme for 2018/19 in support of the ambition. As part of our work on the refreshed strategy, we will consider how to make best use of evidence-based and cost-effective technology.</p><p> </p><p>We are working with our partners across the health and social care system, including the Care Quality Commission, to ensure that consideration of best practice in hand hygiene policies remains a focus of inspections in acute trusts.</p> more like this
