Conclusion
Despite its efforts, the Ministry of Justice lacks a sufficient understanding of legal aid demand, and consequently its current measures of service coverage are invalid. The Legal Aid Agency, due to the powers delegated to it as an executive agency, lacks the authority or tools to intervene effectively and ensure service provision. (Conclusion, Paragraph 101)
