Prison Officers
(asked on 13th December 2017) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many days of detached duty have been worked by prison officers in the last 12 months.
This question was answered on 18th December 2017
The information requested could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
The deployment of staff between prisons on detached duty is a regular and normal part of prison resourcing. It allows staff to be allocated from prisons with the capacity to provide them, to those where additional staffing is required. Since October 2013, national detached duty has been coordinated centrally. Detached duty has taken place every day since this date.
