The processing of evidence being as slow as it is + the general justice system being fucked is absolutely down to cuts but rape is also just an incredibly difficult crime to prove and prosecute in court – generally forensic evidence allows you to know if something happened but not what.

“the Government’s pledge to halve violence against women and girls was under threat due to insufficient funding”
So the real issue is that they realised that this virtue signalling ambition is completely unrealistic, so the failure needs to be justified.
People really are too stupid.
