As per the answer to PQ 184996, please note that offenders may appear both within the caseload figures of court orders (including community orders and suspended sentence orders), and post-release supervision.</p><p> </p><p>The National Probation Service and Community Rehabilitation Companies work closely with other agencies to support offenders in the community. When an offender being supervised by Probation dies, the Probation provider must examine the circumstances of the death and identify areas to improve practice. While we work extremely closely with each offender before and after release to help them find the support they need, we do not have sole responsibility for caring for these offenders. We are clear, however, that they should receive the same level of care as other members of the public.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 14/11/2018 17:01:11 question first ministerially corrected 21/11/2018 11:59:57 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart attachment 1 file name PQ 188194 - table.xlsx title PQ188194 - Table previous answer version 84891 answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/02/2015 answer text <p>In answering this question I have included core MoJ and its larger Executive Agencies (NOMS, HMCTS, LAA) in the figures in the table below. The smaller Executive Agencies (Office of the Public Guardian, Criminal Injuries Compensations Authority) have not been included. The figures show a drop of spending of £426,844.38 (92.98%) between 2008/09 and the 2013/14 figure, the last full year figure included.</p><p> </p><p>Since 2010, spend on hospitality has fallen significantly. Reasons for this include measures taken to ban lunches, teas and coffees for internal meetings. Any such refreshments for meetings with external stakeholders are only provided in exceptional circumstances and require sign off from a Director General. No alcohol is provided for staff from departmental funds and when hospitality is provided to external parties, such as a modest amount of wine with a meal, this requires Director General level approval.

	question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many incidents of use of force resulted in (a) minor and (b) serious injuries in each private prison in England and Wales in each year since 2010.
	tabling member constituency	Rotherham

	uin	226653
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/03/2015 answer text <p>The number of violent criminals in our prisons has increased by 40% in the past 10 years. A specialised system of restraint known as control and restraint (C&amp;R) has been developed over many years to ensure that prisoners can be controlled with minimum risk of injury to staff or prisoners. C&amp;R is a system of techniques used by a team of three officers as a last resort to bring a violent or refractory prisoner under control. Wherever possible staff should avoid the use of force and de-escalate the situation by persuasion or negotiation; if the techniques are applied then they are used for as short a time as possible. Healthcare staff examine all prisoners on whom force has been used.</p><p> </p><p>Violence in prisons is not tolerated; and assaults on our hardworking staff are unacceptable. That is why we have introduced a new protocol establishing that when there are serious assaults on prison staff, the perpetrators must be prosecuted unless there is a good reason why not. This will ensure that prisoners who attack staff are prosecuted and fully brought to justice. It will mean that more of the prisoners who assault staff will spend longer behind bars.</p><p> </p><p>All prisons submit a central monthly return providing the number of times force has been used in the prison with details of any injuries sustained. Central data identifies the number of individuals injured rather than the number of incidents where an injury occurred . Use of force incidents may involve multiple prisoners, for example, force used to separate a fight. To identify the number of incidents would require manual interrogation of use of force documentation held at establishments and could only be achieved at disproportionate cost.</p><p> </p><p>Central data only records whether an injury resulted in hospitalisation or not. To identify if the injuries sustained were minor or serious would also require manual interrogation of use of force documentation held at establishments and could only be achieved at disproportionate cost.</p><p> </p><p>The table below provides details of the number of prisoners hospitalised following an incident where force was used in contracted prisons.</p><p> </p><p><strong><br />

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/03/2015 answer text <p>The number of violent criminals in our prisons has increased by 40% in the past 10 years. A specialised system of restraint known as control and restraint (C&amp;R) has been developed over many years to ensure that prisoners can be controlled with minimum risk of injury to staff or prisoners. C&amp;R is a system of techniques used by a team of three officers as a last resort to bring a violent or refractory prisoner under control. Wherever possible staff should avoid the use of force and de-escalate the situation by persuasion or negotiation; if the techniques are applied then they are used for as short a time as possible. Healthcare staff examine all prisoners on whom force has been used.</p><p> </p><p>Violence in prisons is not tolerated; and assaults on our hardworking staff are unacceptable. That is why we have introduced a new protocol establishing that when there are serious assaults on prison staff, the perpetrators must be prosecuted unless there is a good reason why not. This will ensure that prisoners who attack staff are prosecuted and fully brought to justice. It will mean that more of the prisoners who assault staff will spend longer behind bars.</p><p> </p><p>All prisons submit a central monthly return providing the number of times force has been used in the prison with details of any injuries sustained. Central data identifies the number of individuals injured rather than the number of incidents where an injury occurred . Use of force incidents may involve multiple prisoners, for example, force used to separate a fight. To identify the number of incidents would require manual interrogation of use of force documentation held at establishments and could only be achieved at disproportionate cost.</p><p> </p><p>Central data only records whether an injury resulted in hospitalisation or not. To identify if the injuries sustained were minor or serious would also require manual interrogation of use of force documentation held at establishments and could only be achieved at disproportionate cost.</p><p> </p><p>The table below provides details of the number of prisoners hospitalised following an incident where force was used in contracted prisons.</p><p> </p><p><strong><br />
