<p>Using centrally held financial records it is not possible to disaggregate the costs
of detached duty from other expenses claimed by staff without incurring disproportionate
cost.</p><p> </p><p>In order to increase efficiency of deployment, a nationally co-ordinated
detached duty scheme has been operating since October 2013. The tables below contain
details of all establishments that have received officers on detached duty and the
average weekly provision of staff deployed on detached duty each month.</p><p> </p><p>The
deployment of prison officers between prisons on detached duty is a regular and normal
part of prison resourcing. Deployment outside of the nationally co-ordinated scheme
which began in October is not recorded centrally. For this reason, information on
the number of establishments and staff using detached duty prior to 21 October 2013
is not available.</p>
