What this measures

The median weeks defendants sent for trial waited before their trial started, split by whether they waited in custody or on bail. Custody cases are listed sooner; people on bail carry the longest waits.

Time on remand itself (custody time limits count from an earlier point), or defendants whose remand status is unknown.
