A budget has not been yet allocated to HM Prisons and Probation Service for the COVID-19 Special Payment Scheme.

HMT have approved the scheme and the current costs for the COVID-19 Special Payment Scheme as needed to ensure a safe regime. We anticipate budget cover to be finalised in Autumn 2020, and will cover the full financial year.
