The Government is committed to making sure that victims of crime have access to a broad range of support services, to help them cope with and, as far as possible, recover from the effects of crime.<\/p>

We have made a commitment in the 2016\u20132020 Violence and Women and Girls strategy, to maintain funding for rape support services at 2016/17 levels for the remainder of the spending review period. We continue to meet that commitment.<\/p>

This year we are providing £12.5m funding for services for victims of sexual violence, which includes £7.2m funding for rape support services.<\/p>

This is part of the £96m we are spending in 2017/18 to fund support services for victims of crime across England and Wales, including £68m allocated to Police and Crime Commissioners to locally commission or provide support services for victims of crime, including victims of sexual violence.<\/p>

Towards the end of last year I launched a review of disclosure procedures in the criminal justice system. This followed a comprehensive joint inspection of disclosure in volume Crown Court cases by Her Majesty\u2019s Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate and Her Majesty\u2019s Inspectorate of Constabulary which concluded earlier in 2017, and the recommendations of the project to review our response to economic crime commissioned by the Prime Minister.<\/p>

<\/strong><\/p>

The scope of my review is wide, covering cases in the Magistrates\u2019 Courts as well as more complex Crown Court cases and specialist types of cases, including economic crime and sexual offences. The review will examine existing Codes of Practice, Protocols, Guidelines and legislation as well as case management initiatives and capabilities across the criminal justice system, including how digital technology is used.<\/p>

<\/p>

Alongside the review, on 26 January 2018 the Crown Prosecution Service and National Police Chiefs\u2019 Council published their joint National Disclosure Improvement Plan, a package of measures to improve how the criminal justice system deals with disclosure. This joint plan sets out what they have already done to improve the disclosure process and the further steps they will take. The Government will continue to monitor progress, to ensure that the police and Crown Prosecution Service deliver on the actions they have committed to undertake.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1560", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Jeremy Wright"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Kenilworth and Southam"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Jeremy Wright"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-03-07", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-03-07T16:45:23.95Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "88"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Attorney General"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Attorney General"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-02-28", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Trials: Disclosure of Information"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Attorney General, what steps he is taking to improve the system of evidence disclosure in criminal justice cases.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4433", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Thangam Debbonaire"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bristol West"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Thangam Debbonaire"} ], "uin" : "130290"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/851534", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Work and Pensions"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/851534/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

We have always said that claimants who move over to Universal Credit as part of the managed migration process will not see a cash loss as a result of the change. This is provided that their circumstances remain the same.<\/p>

Claimants who naturally move to Universal Credit will do so because they have had a change of circumstances. In such cases claimants will continue to have their new welfare support entitlement calculated on the rules of their new benefit.<\/p>

HIV testing is available in all prisons in England through healthcare services commissioned by NHS England, through both primary care and genitourinary medicine services. Additionally, all adult prisons in England will provide HIV testing through an \u2018opt-out\u2019 testing programme at or near reception by the end of the current financial year as part of a wider blood-borne virus opt-out testing programme being delivered in partnership between Public Health England, NHS England and Her Majesty\u2019s Prison and Probation Service.<\/p>

<\/p>

The quality of services is assessed by NHS England on a quarterly basis through the collection of data via the Health and Justice Indicators of Performance (HJIPs), which includes information on the number of people offered HIV tests, those tested and the number of people newly diagnosed with HIV referred for treatment within two weeks of diagnosis.<\/p>

<\/p>

For quarter one of financial year 2017/18, 10,574 prisoners were tested for HIV, and 197 cases of HIV were diagnosed in this cohort. Of those, 39 were seen by specialist service providers within two weeks of diagnosis. Further information is available here:<\/p>
