When an offender being supervised by Probation dies, the Probation provider must examine the circumstances of the death and identify areas to improve practice. While we work extremely closely with each offender before and after release to help them find the support they need, we do not have sole responsibility for caring for these offenders. We are clear, however, that they should receive the same level of care as other members of the public.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 14/11/2018 17:01:11 question first ministerially corrected 21/11/2018 11:59:57 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart attachment 1 file name PQ 188194 - table.xlsx title PQ188194 - Table previous answer version 84891 answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/03/2018 answer text <p>Prison Officers do a challenging and vital job to help protect the public and we are committed to making sure we have enough staff to deliver safe regimes in our prisons. In 2016 the former Secretary of State announced HMPPS would be recruiting an additional 2,500 prison officers by December 2018.</p><p> </p><p>The standard rate of overnight subsistence paid to Prison Officers is £25 per 24 hour period and there are no plans to change the current subsistence rates.</p><p> </p><p>Detached duty is one of the sensible and proportionate measures we take to cover resourcing pressures and ensure we run safe and decent regimes in prisons as well as being able to respond appropriately to any operational issues that arise. It is not possible, without incurring disproportionate cost, to determine how much money has been spent on subsistence payments to prison officers on detached duty in each year since 2010. The reason for this is that centrally held financial records cannot disaggregate the costs of accommodation and subsistence claimed for detached duty from other expenses claimed by staff, for example when attending training.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart grouped question UIN 133001 133002 question first answered 21/03/2018 18:00:18 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
