The Government is committed to swifter justice.<\/p>
<\/p>
In Leicestershire during 2019, the average number of calendar days between first submission of a case to the last decision made to charge was under 26 days. This includes cases where the police were required to submit further evidence prior to a decision to charge.<\/p>
<\/p>
The senior management of CPS East Midlands meet weekly to consider cases awaiting charge, prioritising the most sensitive and serious cases and ensuring Prosecutors have sufficient capacity to provide charging advice to police on a daily basis. At weekends, CPS Direct support CPS East Midlands by providing charging advice. Furthermore, Crown Advocates can be diverted from other work to complete charging cases as required.<\/p>
The national CPS recruitment campaign will increase prosecutorial capacity significantly. .<\/p>

While the European Commission (EC) records the number of incoming mobilities to the UK on the Erasmus+ programme this is not broken down by sub-national, regional or institutional level.<\/p>
