	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/05/2019 answer text <p>Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) and the Parole Board work closely to improve the progression of prisoners serving sentences of Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP). Consequently, there is a joint action plan in place, co-owned by HMPPS and the Parole Board, with the specific aim of providing opportunities for prisoners serving IPP sentences to progress to safe release. We are prioritising post-tariff prisoners in accessing rehabilitative interventions, including psychology service-led reviews in cases where there has not been satisfactory progression, and enhanced case management for those prisoners sentenced with a complex set of risks and needs. We have also developed progression regimes at four prisons across the country, which are dedicated to progressing indeterminate prisoners struggling to achieve release via the usual routes.</p><p> </p><p>It is important to note that accredited programmes are offered to prisoners based on risk, need and responsivity for a particular programme. For IPP prisoners, suitability for any accredited programmes will be considered as part of their wider sentence plan. A wide range of accredited programmes are available and IPP prisoners are one of the groups prioritised for participation on accredited programmes where they are identified as suitable. However, the completion of accredited programmes is not a mandatory requirement for IPP prisoners to secure release.</p><p> </p><p>While HMPPS is focused on giving all prisoners serving IPP sentences opportunities to progress towards release, public protection must remain our priority.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 08/05/2019 15:43:53 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar

	question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what recent estimate his Department has made of the cost to the public purse of reoffending.
	tabling member constituency	Leeds East
	tabling member printed	Richard Burgon
	uin	248731
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/05/2019 answer text <p>A reduction in reoffending rates can only be achieved by a concerted effort across government on the drivers of reoffending such as homelessness, unemployment, addiction, health, care and social exclusion. This is why the MoJ is working with other departments to tackle the main causes of reoffending. We are committed to tackling reoffending by investing in community provision, strengthening alternatives to short custodial sentences and boosting rehabilitation, so that it keeps the public safe and ultimately reforms and rehabilitates offenders.</p><p>The current estimate of the economic and social cost of reoffending is approximately £15bn per annum, including the cost to victims, and the cost to the Government of detecting, prosecuting, and punishing the crime. This was based on a report published by the National Audit Office (NAO), which estimated in 2007/08 that reoffending by recent ex-prisoners cost between £9.5billion and £13billion; this report can be found here:<br> <br> <a href="https://www.nao.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/0910431.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.nao.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/0910431.pdf</a></p><p>This estimate was calculated by taking the figure of £13bn and increasing it by inflation, to bring it into present-day costs at the time of calculation (2016/17). This was done by applying GDP deflators in line with standard Green Book guidance. <br></p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 02/05/2019 16:12:40 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar
