answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/06/2014 answer text <p>There have been no discussions between the Director of Public Prosecutions and the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) about implementing the recommendations in HM Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate report on the disclosure of medical records and counselling notes. The recommendations of the report were that Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) legal guidance on Rape and Sexual Offences was updated and that CPS Headquarters may wish to liaise with ACPO about such disclosure to develop a national police form for use when the police consult complainants. The guidance was updated on 12 December 2013 and the capture of information in a national police form is being considered as part of the work on digitisation of cases files and has been discussed with ACPO.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North East Hertfordshire answering member printed Oliver Heald question first answered 17/06/2014 12:46:45 answering member 69 label Biography information for Sir Oliver Heald
