answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/03/2017 answer text <p>As part of our prison safety and reform plans, we are giving governors in all prisons more powers and more responsibility. This includes key roles at each stage of the healthcare commissioning cycle, and the ability to decide how to structure their education regime, how it is sequenced and who provides it.</p><p> </p><p>These new responsibilities for prison governors will be accompanied by new accountability, buttressed by a set of performance standards that will hold them to account for the progress prisoners make.</p><p> </p><p>The budget for education and healthcare in 2015-16 was the responsibility of other Government Departments or a devolved function of the Welsh Government.</p><p> </p><p>The Department for Business Innovation and Skills allocated £128.9m for prison education in that year.</p><p> </p><p>The Department for Health allocated spend on offender health in 2015/16 but it is not possible to breakdown how much of this was spent in prisons.</p><p> </p><p>In the case of some Privately Managed Prisons, education and healthcare was delivered by the prison operator and funded as part of the overall contract price. These costs are therefore not all held in the budget overseen by NOMS to deliver services in prisons.</p><p> </p><p>We do not allocate a separate budget for rehabilitation. Offender rehabilitation is an integral part of the prison regime, from offending behaviour programmes to working in prison catering services.</p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah question first answered 23/03/2017 17:48:22 answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah
