Question
To ask the Scottish Executive when a victim liaison service will be established alongside the procurator fiscal service in Dumbarton.
Answer
A Victim Liaison Office will be operational in each region of the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service by summer 2002. At present there is no target date to establish a Victim Liaison Office in Dumbarton. However, further expansion of the Victim Liaison Office will be considered in light of the evaluation of the operation of the pilot offices in Aberdeen and Hamilton and the implementation of the Management Review of the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service.
