What are the pressing areas that are becoming more obvious now emanating from the DPP's office in respect of extra resources? Regarding the nature of the cases coming before the courts, what areas have been seen the largest increases? Given that it is a demand-led service we are talking about, where is the demand coming from and where are the changes coming from? Are there particularly sensitive issues that we should know about? If something is demand-led, as we know, it can be led again next year to a greater or lesser extent, depending on the situation.
