PSA Target 3:
To increase value for money from the CJS by 3 per cent
a year.
The CPS contribution to the target will be met if by year ending
March 2006, there is an improvement in efficiency or value for
money of at least 3% compared with the year ending March 2003.
Some CPS-led initiatives have efficiency and value for money
benefits for the police and the courts as well as the CPS.
The CPS increased value for money and made efficiency savings
for re-investment in frontline prosecution services through:
• The introduction of charging arrangements;
• Improved use of the COMPASS Case Management System;
• Increased use of HCAs and DCWs;
• Reduction in the use of agents in the magistrates’ courts;
• The rationalisation of the Service Centres providing
transactional support services;
• Improvements to the management of leases on the estate; and
• Improved terms from suppliers as a result of introducing online
ordering and procurement.
