Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what the average processing time was for applications to the Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme by people living in Rotherham in each of the last five years.

The table below shows the average time for decisions to be made on applications* for criminal injuries compensation by people resident in Rotherham**.

* The table does not include archived bereavement applications because the address of the applicant is not retained. In most cases, applications are archived three years after the case has been closed.

** The above table includes all awards where the applicant named Rotherham as the town in their home address in their application.
