There is a proposal to increase it by a further 20. That means there is going to be an increase in volume and in the number of criminal cases that will be dealt with. It comes back to my original question about the capacity within the service to deal with the convictions and sentences after that. I am just wondering if the next three to four years of that have been thought out.
