Court of Protection
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether steps have been taken to reduce waiting times for an application for deputyship to be seen at the Court of Protection.
Answered by Catherine Atkinson
HM Courts & Tribunals Service has invested in more judicial sitting days, alongside system and process improvements such as online application forms to improve the processing time for applications.
The Ministry of Justice publishes regular data on Court of Protection timeliness in the quarterly family court statistics bulletin: Family Court Statistics Quarterly - GOV.UK.
