HM Courts & Tribunals Service (HMCTS) is committed to the continuous improvement of performance in Magistrates\u2019 Courts; this includes minimising delays in hearing cases. The performance of Magistrates\u2019 Courts depends upon the performance of the criminal justice system as a whole, and HMCTS works closely with other agencies in the criminal justice system, including the police and the CPS, in order to keep delays to a minimum.<\/p>

<\/p>

My officials have had regular discussions with magistrates. The Chief Executive and HMCTS Directors meet on a quarterly basis with the Chairs of the Magistrates\u2019 Association (MA) and the National Bench Chairmen\u2019s Forum (NBCF) to discuss various issues, which include performance in the Magistrates\u2019 Courts. The performance of the Magistrates\u2019 Courts has also recently been discussed at meetings of the Senior Presiding Judge\u2019s Magistrates\u2019 Liaison Group (MLG) the membership of which includes both the judiciary and senior officials from HMCTS. At a regional level, Judicial Business Groups (JBG) and, more locally, Judicial Leadership Groups ( (JLG) provide a f<\/ins>urther forum where the judiciary and my officials can discuss the performance of local Magistrates\u2019 Courts and, where necessary, the judiciary can put in place local listing arrangements to tackle delay.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1496", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Shailesh Vara"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "North West Cambridgeshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr Shailesh Vara"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2014-10-24", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2014-10-24T13:15:42.9190899Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2014-10-13", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Magistrates' Courts"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what recent discussions he has had with magistrates regarding delays at magistrates' courts.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1511", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Austin of Dudley"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Dudley North"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Ian Austin"} ], "uin" : "210223"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/92287", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Justice"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/92287/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

HM Courts & Tribunals Service records the costs incurred in the operation of all our courts and tribunals and carefully monitors those costs on an ongoing basis. Average costs are published in the HMCTS Annual Report and Accounts.

Public protection is our top priority and is at the heart of our Transforming Rehabilitation reforms. We are clear that management of the offenders who pose the highest risk of serious harm should remain with the public sector. The new National Probation Service is responsible for the direct management of those offenders who pose the highest risk of serious harm to the public and who have committed the most serious offences. This includes sex offenders and Multi Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) cases. Offenders who are deemed to pose a medium and low risk are being managed by a Community Rehabilitation Company.<\/p>

<\/p>

Every offender will be risk assessed prior to allocation to any probation provider and also upon leaving prison; this will be reviewed when there are indicators that their risk of serious harm to the public has increased to high.<\/p>

<\/strong><\/p>

The Ministry of Justice publishes proven re-offending rates for adult and juvenile offenders on a quarterly basis. However, these rates cannot be provided for those offenders classified as very high risk or high risk as the information held centrally does not currently hold an assessment of risk. Assessments of risk are held locally by the National Probation Service and Community Rehabilitation Companies.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1453", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Andrew Selous"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South West Bedfordshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Andrew Selous"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2014-10-24", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : {"_value" : "205619"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2014-10-24T11:13:34.579937Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2014-07-14", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Sexual Offences: Reoffenders"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what the reoffending rate was of sex offenders categorised as very high risk in each police force area in England and Wales in each of the last five years.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4263", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lucy Powell"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Manchester Central"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lucy Powell"} ], "uin" : "205588"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "next" : "http://eldaddp.azurewebsites.net/answeredquestions.text?_page=1&answer.dateOfAnswer=2014-10-24&answeringDeptSortName=Justice®isteredInterest=false&max-answer.questionFirstAnswered.=2014-10-24T13%3A15%3A42.9190899Z", "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 12, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
