A line graph showing the median number of days taken to receive a final outcome from the Confidentiality Advisory Group between 2018 and 2023.
On one axis is the number of days, on the other is the year. There are four lines of data shown.
The first line is blue and shows full review (research). Starting at 34 days in 2018 it rises to 45 days in 2019 and 2020, before dropping to 29 in 2021 and rising gradually back up to 32 days in 2022 and 38 days in 2023.
This pattern is repeated, although with smaller rises in falls in full review (non-research) data, starting at 30 days in 2018, rising to a peak of 37 days in 2020, falling to a low of 28 days in 2022 and rising to 33 days in 2023.
Similarly a pink line for precedent set review (research), and a green line for precedent set review (non-research) shows a similar trends but with even smaller variances.
Precedent set review (research) starts at 26 days in 2018, rises to a peak of 28.5 days in 2020, drops to 22 days in 2021 and rises to 23 days in 2023.
For precedent set review (non-research) the trend is slightly different, starting at 27 days in 2018 and falling to 26.5 days in 2019 and 2020, before a large drop to 19 days in 2021, before slowly rising to 23 days in 2023.
