The Scottish justice system aims to be fair and accessible, cost-effective, and make proportionate use of resources under the Making Justice Work programme. It seeks to resolve disputes and prosecutions quickly and achieve just outcomes. This will be accomplished through intermediate outcomes like low crime rates, public confidence, and efficient processes. Challenges include establishing baselines, collaboration, and governance. Measuring quantitative metrics like time and costs is easier than qualitative factors like user experience and public confidence. Lessons include designing benefits collaboratively, using multiple data sources, and focusing on continuous improvement.

6. What‟s so hard about that?
• Baselining
• Shared understanding
• Culture of collaboration
• Governance framework
8. What the judges tell us
“The Scottish Civil Courts provide
a service to the public that is
slow, inefficient and expensive.
Their procedures are antiquated
and the range of remedies they
can give is inadequate. In short,
they are failing to deliver justice.
Public confidence in our system
is being eroded.”
Lord Gill, Report of the Scottish Civil Courts Review, 2009
9. What the numbers tell us
• „Churn‟ costing £40m a year
• 1/3 of civilian witnesses don‟t turn up
• 90% of police in court don‟t give
evidence
• In 6 weeks, 300 people due for trial in
court were in custody for other
offences
• Cost per case for tribunals – from
£1,300 to £11,000

13. Learning Points
• Collaborative design of benefits
• Multiple sources of measurement
• Not necessarily more information but better
use of existing data sources
• Look across the system
• Getting better at getting better
• Spend time at start to get right benefits and
measures
• If you can do it in Justice, you can do it
anywhere!
