Government consultation currently open
There is no need to alter the current legal aid system.
That's the view of local advocate Stephen Wood who has already made a submission to the government consultation on the matter.
He is a member of the duty advocate committee and says 95% of his work is legal aid.
Mr Wood says making a change for change's sake is not required:-
