<p> </p><p> </p><p>Benchmarking public sector prisons started last summer and concludes
by April 2015. The numbers in the table below relate to the prisons in which the process
of applying the benchmark, during which the number of prisons officers and all other
staff are determined, has been completed.</p><p>Benchmarking is by far the best means
of delivering value for money for the public purse (savings of £175m by 15/16). It
optimises the skills of staff by introducing new ways of working and puts all prison
officers in prison-facing roles.</p><p>Our benchmarking approach has been agreed with
the Unions, and it will help the wider strategy of reconfiguring the prison estate
which the NAO has commented is the most coherent and comprehensive for many years.Benchmarking
delivers efficiencies whilst ensuring that public sector prisons can operate safely,
decently and securely</p><table><tbody><tr><td colspan="2"><p><strong>Benchmark FTE
