<p>National Detached Duty is one of the sensible and proportionate measures we take
to ensure we run safe and decent regimes in prisons and respond appropriately to any
operational issues that arise. The deployment of staff between prisons on National
Detached Duty is a regular and normal part of prison resourcing; the number of Prison
Officers deployed on National Detached Duty varies from one week to the next in order
to reflect operational circumstances.</p><p> </p><p>The attached table shows the number
of staff deployed through National Detached Duty to the prisons rated as being of
serious concern in the Annual Prison Performance Ratings 2017-18 for the last six
months of 2017 and 2018. Figures are not included for HMP Peterborough as privately
managed prisons are not supported with National Detached Duty. It should be noted
that the figures represent the number of staff in place during the week commencing
the date shown, it is not known how many days per week that staff would have been
deployed. It is only possible to obtain data for days worked at disproportionate cost.</p>
