The funding position has changed due to the transfer of NTRG staff cost from the HR Directorate into the SOCT Directorate during 2017/18. The reason for the comparative budget reduction is that HR Directorate have held onto £0.2k budget for Facilities Management costs within the Learning &amp; Development Unit and the average pay used to set the pay budget allocation for 17/18 was based on average costs which are £7k lower than in previous years and will need to be adjusted next year to reflect Operational rather than HQ posts of approx. £0.41m. HMPPS Budgets are set at the beginning of the year, but are subject to changes and adjustments during the course of the year due to changes in scope and priorities of the business.</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>NTRG staff work from one of two centres, and are deployed to establishments as the need arises.
