By the end of March 2018, it is planned that there will be 2010 men in HMP Berwyn. This will be subject to operational need.

The planned operating costs for this period are estimated to be approximately £23.5m.

Healthcare provision and learning and skills is the responsibility of Welsh Government and is therefore excluded from this calculation.
