answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/03/2024 answer text <p>The number of contractual delays at the Crown Court attributable to the two PECS suppliers, in each month from September 2023 to February 2024, is shown in the table below.</p><p>Contractual delays include both failure to deliver a prisoner, and delay in bringing a prisoner to court. In contractual terms, a delay occurs when a prisoner who is at that time the responsibility of a PECS supplier, is not available in the courtroom at the required time so that courtroom business is delayed by 15 minutes or more. Whenever a delay occurs, its cause is investigated by the PECS Management Team in His Majesty’s Prison &amp; Probation Service. During the period for which data have been provided, there were no instances of failure to deliver a prisoner: all recorded instances are attributable to delay in bringing a prisoner to court.</p><p> </p><p>PECS contractual delays to Crown Court hearings, September 2023 to February 2024</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Serco</p></td><td><p>Total moves to Crown Court</p></td><td><p>Number of contractual delays</p></td><td><p>Performance %</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Sep 2023</p></td><td><p>4872</p></td><td><p>5</p></td><td><p>99.90</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Oct 2023</p></td><td><p>4651</p></td><td><p>8</p></td><td><p>99.83</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Nov 2023</p></td><td><p>5408</p></td><td><p>17</p></td><td><p>99.69</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Dec 2023</p></td><td><p>3803</p></td><td><p>20</p></td><td><p>99.48</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Jan 2024</p></td><td><p>5136</p></td><td><p>14</p></td><td><p>99.73</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Feb 2024</p></td><td><p>4733</p></td><td><p>7</p></td><td><p>99.86</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>GEOAmey</p></td><td><p>Total moves to Crown Court</p></td><td><p>Number of contractual delays</p></td><td><p>Performance %</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Sep 2023</p></td><td><p>4904</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p>99.96</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Oct 2023</p></td><td><p>5169</p></td><td><p>3</p></td><td><p>99.95</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Nov 2023</p></td><td><p>5559</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p>99.97</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Dec 2023</p></td><td><p>4419</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>99.99</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Jan 2024</p></td><td><p>5586</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>99.99</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Feb 2024</p></td><td><p>5223</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>99.99</p></td></tr></tbody></table> answering member constituency Orpington answering member printed Gareth Bacon question first answered 26/03/2024 16:39:57 answering member 4798 label Biography information for Gareth Bacon
