Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many hours were worked in Payment Plus by prison officer grades in each prison establishment since January 2016.

Answered by

Sam Gyimah

This question was answered on 16th December 2016

A core part of our prison safety and reform plan is the recruitment of an additional 2,500 additional prison officers. In 10 of our most challenging prisons we have already started a recruitment programme. I am pleased to say that we have already made 280 job offers for those 400 jobs, on top of 1,400 new officers appointed in the last 12 months.

The information requested is shown in the tables below. Since the summer of 2014, NOMS have effectively managed operational stability through arrangements that redeploy staff to neighbouring establishments. Payment Plus is one of the measures available to NOMS that has been used alongside national Detached Duty arrangements.
