The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what estimate her Department has made of the average processing times for deputyship applications by the Court of Protection.

Answered by Sarah Sackman

Data on the average processing time for deputyship applications, from receipt to disposal by the Court of Protection, is not currently available.

The court has recently migrated to a new case management system and work is in hand as part of the HMCTS data strategy to develop management information data.
