This question was answered on 2nd July 2014

In responding to this question we have utilised data provided by our contracted supplier of temporary operational staff.

Operational Support Grades cover a variety of roles within the Prison including gate, visits, censors and reception, they are also flexibly deployed to provide a range of other support services within operational areas. We look to fill vacancies from within the department and wider civil service before looking externally. The total number of agency staff in the position of Operational Support Grade as of Wednesday 9th June 2014 was 842. This figure can fluctuate throughout the year in line with establishment requirements. For a full breakdown of this number by establishment please see the table at Annex A.
