Attorney General, Dominic Grieve QC has decided to merge both the in-house prosecution divisions of the Department of Work and Pensions and the Department of Health with the Crown Prosecution Service.

 

The move will begin on 1st April. Prosecutions for the DWP and DH will be dealt with by one team, called the 'CPS welfare, rural and health prosecutions division'.

 

It is believed that prosecutors will be based in Birmingham, Cardiff, Leeds, Liverpool and London. I don't know if Scotland prosecutions will be moving to CPS, COPFS or staying where they are, nothing has been mentioned in relation to Scottish cases specifically, but as the legal systems of England and Wales is different to that of Scotland, it is possible that Scotland cases would not be moved to the CPS. Will update if I hear any more.

My advice is based on my opinion, my experience and my education. I do not profess to be an expert in any given field. If requested, I will provide a link where possible to relevant legislation or guidance, so that advice provided can be confirmed and I do encourage others to follow those links for their own peace of mind. Sometimes my advice is not what people necesserily want to hear, but I will advise on facts as I know them - although it may not be what a person wants to hear it helps to know where you stand. Advice on the internet should never be a substitute for advice from your own legal professional with full knowledge of your individual case.

 

 

Please do not seek, offer or produce advice on a consumer issue via private message; it is against

forum rules to advise via private message, therefore pm's requesting private advice will not receive a response.
