You can have all the initiatives you like but only when the constituent parts of our Justice system are properly resourced and there is an agreed definition/image of "efficiency" then the system will limp from one initiative to the next looking for the desired improvement.
Here's an idea: why can't the Police enter into arrangements with a variety of legal advice and advocacy contractors who express a willingness to undertake such work through competitive tendering so that through competition standards are improved through the desire to win more work from the Police. For how long would the CPS survive?
