Juries: Mental Health Services
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether the pilot scheme to provide support for jurors on the most traumatic cases will be (a) continued and (b) widened to include more courts.
Answered by Sarah Sackman
The pilot to test the need for enhanced support will conclude at the end of March and the results will be evaluated to help assess long term support needs for jurors. Those suffering distress as a result of their service are provided with guidance advising them of other services they can access, including the NHS 111 National Mental Health Helpline.
