The Crown Court backlog could remain a problem for years, severely affecting victims, says a watchdog.

Waiting times rose most in London, with the average age of a case increasing by 63% from 164 days to 266 days, the report said.

"The impact on victims, witnesses and defendants is severe and it is vital that the Ministry of Justice works effectively with its partners in the criminal justice system to minimise the delays to justice." And another Nightingale court is to open at a hotel in Warwick, taking the total in England and Wales to 23.

The Bar Council, which represents barristers, said the findings were alarming and showed criminal justice was "at breaking point".
