Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many times an order drawn up on the Common Platform has been communicated to stakeholders where there is a material difference to what was inputted and what was transmitted in each of the last 21 months.

HMCTS cannot provide this information as it is not routinely collected/recorded centrally. Issues would usually be dealt with at a local level and would only be reported centrally where there was a significant impact/error or where a complaint is made. OPTIC does not record the impact on other criminal justice agencies where a complaint/issue is recorded.

As an accuracy assurance, in those courts where Common Platform has been rolled out, there are checks in place to identify and prevent errors whilst Legal Advisers build their capability. 100% checks are undertaken until it is assessed that the individual Legal Adviser would no longer benefit from this level of checking.
