Hello There

Been away all week, and in hotels with no easy internet access (I must get the laptop set up to do this, currently don’t understand “wireless LAN” etc. myself) hence lack of activity here.
Training engagements took me to Southampton and Cardiff and it was London yesterday for a CRB/CAC hearing regarding extrapolation and general findings.
There are no startling things to report just pretty much the usual frustrations about the constant pressure on legal aid practitioners. It strikes me how easily this could be characterised as merely whinging however the ubiquitous nature of peoples concerns persuades me otherwise. Having covered most of the country now its hard not to ignore the unanimity of providers concerns.
Normal service should be resumed next week including, hopefully, a result on yesterdays hearing.
