Conclusion
Targeted increases to some police station fixed fees are unlikely to be sufficient to ensure the sustainability of the service. The government has said that its intervention to increase funding for criminal duty solicitor schemes has put them on more stable footing. However, we are concerned that available evidence suggests this will be insufficient to arrest the decline of the service. (Conclusion, Paragraph 35)
