Here's what:
A comparison of the numbers of specialist legal advice providers, contracted or non-contracted, based in READING, BERKS, before and after 1 April 2007, by area of law:
Actions against the police – 1 - 0 Clinical Negligence – 1 - 1 Community care - 2 - 0 Consumer and general contract – 4 - 0 Crime - 13 - 11 Debt - 2 - 2 Benefits - 2 - 2 EducatioN - 3 - 0 Employment - 6 - 0 Family - 11 - 4 Housing - 5 - 0 Immigration - 2 - 0 Mental Health - 2 - 0 Public law - 1 - 0
Comparison is based the current internet CLS director and a previous CD rom version. As you can see, where we used to have mutiple providers in virtually every area of law, we now only have providers in five areas of law - two of which are provided by us and CAB.
