Despite the unprecedented challenges faced by the probate service during the Covid 19 pandemic, and the increased volume of applications that have been seen since, the average length of time taken for a grant of probate following receipt of all the documents required has been maintained at between five and seven weeks \u2013 with the average responses being almost 1 week faster in quarter 3 of 2022 than the yearly average for 2020 and 2021.<\/p>

<\/p>

HMCTS has increased resources to meet the higher demand following an increased number of estates requiring probate and is further increasing resourcing to further bring down overall timeliness on digital and paper applications.<\/p>

<\/p>

Average waiting times for probate grants, up to September 2022, are routinely published on gov.uk via Family Court Statistics Quarterly (Table 24): https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/family-court-statistics-quarterly-july-to-september-2022<\/a>.<\/p>

The Secretary of State (or an official with delegated responsibility) will accept a recommendation from the Parole Board to approve an indeterminate sentenced prisoner (ISP) for open conditions, only where all criteria of the policy has been met. The policy and guidance were updated in June 2022. When considering whether to accept Parole Board recommendations for open conditions, each case is considered on its own merits, against the terms of the policy, taking into account all of the information provided. A period in open conditions is not essential in order for the Parole Board to direct release and time in open conditions must not be at the expense of public protection. The Prison Service operates progression regimes in four closed prisons which provide an alternative for prisoners unsuitable for open conditions. These allow prisoners to demonstrate the progress they have made in custody while minimising the risk to the public.<\/p>

<\/p>

Below is a breakdown of how many times the Secretary of State for Justice has accepted and not accepted the Parole Board\u2019s recommendation:<\/p>

The power to recall is a vital public protection measure and all individuals supervised under licence in the community are liable to recall to prison if they fail to comply with their licence conditions. Where IPP offenders are recalled, it is because they present an assessed risk of serious harm to the public and the controls available are no longer sufficient to keep the public safe.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government is committed to the protection of the public and the effective management of offenders. Prisoners serving indeterminate sentences who have completed their tariff will be released only when the Parole Board concludes that it is no longer necessary on the grounds of public protection for them to remain confined.<\/p>

<\/p>

The IPP Action Plan remains the route by which IPP offenders can be supported to progress towards safe release. As per the Government\u2019s response to the Justice Select Committee\u2019s report on the IPP sentence, work to refresh the Action Plan is already underway.<\/p>

        The Government is committed to the protection of the public and the effective management of offenders. Prisoners serving indeterminate sentences who have completed their tariff will be released only when the Parole Board concludes that it is no longer necessary on the grounds of public protection for them to remain confined.<\/p>

        The IPP Action Plan remains the route by which IPP offenders can be supported to progress towards safe release. As per the Government\u2019s response to the Justice Select Committee\u2019s report on the IPP sentence, work to refresh the Action Plan is already underway.<\/p>

          The power to recall is a vital public protection measure and all individuals supervised under licence in the community are liable to recall to prison if they fail to comply with their licence conditions. Where IPP offenders are recalled, it is because they present an assessed risk of serious harm to the public and the controls available are no longer sufficient to keep the public safe.<\/p>

            To process Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPA) applications, the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG) has staff working day shifts and evening shifts, and both shifts then have further overtime hours. While staff do not routinely work between 12am and 6am, for evening shift staff who work from 4pm-10pm, overtime hours are available from 10pm-2am. The below data shows the number of staff who have taken that opportunity to work overtime at least once in each month, but not all of these staff will have worked beyond 12am while working overtime.<\/p>

            Staff do not work beyond 2am. The table below provides the total number of administrative evening shift staff who have worked overtime beyond 10pm. It does not include day shift staff who have worked overtime.<\/p>

            The Office of the Public Guardian (OPG) is currently advising customers to allow up to 20 weeks for a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) application to be processed, including the statutory four-week waiting period for lodging objections prior to registration. OPG's target is to register LPAs within an average of eight weeks. The current backlog resulted from Covid restrictions which reduced how many staff could be in the office to physically process LPAs which are currently paper-based documents.<\/p>

            Tackling the backlog is a priority for OPG. Staff are working overtime to register LPAs, extra staff have been hired, and process efficiencies have been introduced. These measures are starting to take effect and OPG remains committed to reducing the waiting times that customers are experiencing. The government fully understands that delays are frustrating.<\/p>

            The government is supporting the Powers of Attorney Bill sponsored by Stephen Metcalfe MP. The Bill will enable a modernisation of the process for making and registering an LPA, bringing in a new digital channel and improving the paper one.
