uin	125522
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/02/2018 answer text <p>We are unable to provide a breakdown as requested for those who have served in the armed forces. The Ministry began collecting data on service in the armed forces from 2015. All newly received offenders into custody (convicted or remanded) are now asked on reception if they have served in the armed forces. Latest figures published in October 2017 show approximately 3% of offenders who responded to the question were former members of the armed forces. This has been a similar level to the previous four quarters. Due to the very small number of female ex-armed service personnel in prisons this number is not split by gender.</p><p> </p><p>Prisoners who choose to identify as veterans are given access to available specialist support via the armed forces. This includes support for issues such as post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), that may affect them following their service. Additional support can be offered by military service charities working with prisons and rehabilitation services.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 02/02/2018 14:46:38 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer

uin	125576
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/02/2018 answer text <p>The facilities management contracts for prisons with Carillion and Amey were signed in 2015. Where repairs are required due to wear and tear costs up to £750 are absorbed by the supplier as part of its fixed fee. Any costs over £750, or any repairs required due to vandalism are payable by the Department. The contract doesn’t contain an agreed charge for these work types due to their heterogenous nature. Instead, in accordance with the NEC3 contract, the Department pays the defined cost of the repair, i.e. the actual cost of the repair. The Department closely reviews defined costs to ensure that they are at open Market value and offer the Department value for money.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 02/02/2018 14:17:10 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer
