To ask Her Majesty's Government how many cases have been heard to date in each of the 'Nightingale Courts'.

Answered on

23 December 2020

Recovering from the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic is our top priority. By opening 18 Nightingale courts, we have added vital capacity and provided 33 extra court rooms, alleviating the pressure on courts and tribunals resulting from the pandemic. Additionally, we have secured £30m of funding to open a further 40 Nightingale court rooms in early 2021.

We do not break down data on cases heard in Nightingale Courts.
