Job summary
MoJ, HMCTS and NHS England are testing how a regional hub model could provide strategic oversight over the psychiatric reports process to tackle inefficiencies, deliver swifter access to treatment for vulnerable people, prevent inappropriate custodial remands or reduce the length of remands and strengthen local relationships.
