Decisions on allocation of this nature can only be made via a Complex Case Board, chaired by a senior prison manager, as detailed in ‘The Care and Management of Individuals who are Transgender’ policy framework</p><p><br> It is not Ministry of Justice and HM Prison &amp; Probation Service (HMPPS) policy to place women on E Wing who do not hold a GRC. In exceptional circumstances, such as those seen during the COVID-19 pandemic, it remains open to HMPPS to utilise accommodation differently where it is considered operationally necessary. However, any women placed on E Wing in such circumstances would always be held separately from others on the unit.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 16/09/2021 14:59:47 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer
