<p>Her Majesty’s Prisons and Probation Service (HMPPS) is responsible for the delivery
of prison and probation services in England and Wales. These services were first brought
together with the creation of the National Offender Management Service in 2004, which
became HMPPS in 2017.</p><p>In respect of determining how much money is spent and
how funding is determined for prisons/probation, it should be noted that annual budget
allocations are set as part of the Ministry of Justice’s annual budget allocation
process and subject to any in year movements or organisation restructure changes.
These allocations are made on the basis of need and according to Departmental priorities.
The allocation of funds for the services provided by HMPPS is carefully planned and
prioritised on a regular basis in order to ensure HMPPS is able to continue to deliver
its services for all offenders sentenced by the courts for either supervision in the
community or custody.</p>
