<p /> <p>Although the contracted-out prisons submit staff sickness absence data to
the National Offender Management Service for use in the prison rating system, this
relates to all staff and does not provide a breakdown by grade, such as prison officer.</p><p>
</p><p>Figures for average working days lost relating to total full-time equivalent
staff in the contracted prisons for 2013-14 are published in the Excel document entitled
‘Prison rating system dataset 2013 to 2014’ at the following location: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/prison-and-probation-trusts-performance-statistics-201314"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/prison-and-probation-trusts-performance-statistics-201314</a>.
Please see in particular column BE of the sheet labelled ‘Data’.</p><p> </p><p>Figures
for 2014-15 will be published on 30 July at the following web page: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/prison-and-probation-trusts-performance-statistics"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/prison-and-probation-trusts-performance-statistics</a>.</p><p>
</p><p>Please note that specific staffing arrangements and the management of sickness
absence of staff in the contracted out prisons is the responsibility of the individual
contractors and not Ministry of Justice (MoJ). However, MoJ closely monitors the performance
of private prisons and we ensure appropriate numbers of staff are in place to deliver
safe and secure regimes in every public and privately-run prison.</p>
