The time taken for new staff to reach the top of their probation pay scale is judged against them acquiring the unique and necessary skills and competencies to be a proficient probation officer. This is not comparable to the time taken to progress in other public sector roles.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 12/11/2018 17:30:54 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/11/2018 answer text <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> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 12/11/2018 17:12:57 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
