	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/07/2019 answer text <p>Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) plans the provision of accredited programmes by obtaining a national overview of demand, and more local analyses to understand demand at sites in order to plan provision. This enables us to identify a demand above supply, for example where the Parole Board is limiting progression due to a lack of provision, we are able to identify this and make changes to the provision.</p><p> </p><p>It is the responsibility of HMPPS, not the Parole Board, to assess the suitability and eligibility of offenders for accredited programmes as part of their wider sentence plan. We have a wide range of accredited programmes for prisoners to attend where they are identified as suitable. We always try to ensure that courses are available to prisoners at a suitable time in their sentence.</p> answering member constituency South Swindon answering member printed Robert Buckland question first answered 04/07/2019 15:57:22 answering member 4106 label Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland
