Accept in part. HMCTS utilises a range of information on the condition of the estate, and this informs a prioritised pipeline of future works across the estate which is kept under regular review. However, HMCTS will review the data it collects, including data collected by its Facilities Management provider Equans, and will consider if improvements can be made to inform future works and repairs. The review will also consider the publication of consistent site condition data, and how this could be achieved in a cost effective and proportionate way. We will provide the outcome of this review, via letter to the Committee, before the end of March 2026.
