The average timeliness in March was 9 weeks.The first quarter of 2024 (January to March 2024) saw the highest quarterly number of grants issued on record. A full time series of Official Statistics back to Q3 2019 is published in the Family Court Statistics Quarterly <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/family-court-statistics-quarterly" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/family-court-statistics-quarterly</a> and currently covers the period up to December 2023.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 March 2023 <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/hmcts-management-information" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/hmcts-management-information</a>.
