The independent review commissioned by the Permanent Secretary was finalised in May. To protect the department\u2019s security and commercial interests we will not be publishing this report. I can confirm that the report found that three separate and unrelated issues occurred at the same time, creating significant business impact. Steps have already been taken to learn lessons from these incidents. We are working closely with our suppliers to make sure that diligent care is taken of the department's infrastructure, accompanied by a more robust internal capability to control and manage our vital services.<\/p>
<\/p>
An updated business continuity plan for the department will be completed this month; that plan will include specific scenarios around significant IT failure covering one or more of our agencies. We are also reviewing the monitoring applied to the core networking infrastructure to provide us with earlier sight of any future problems. There was no evidence of any foul play, and no data was lost during the incident.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4106", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South Swindon"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Robert Buckland"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-06-18", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-06-18T16:49:16.77Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-06-13", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Courts and Probation: ICT"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, pursuant to the Answer of 11 March 2019 to Question 227393, whether the review into the causes of the probation and courts IT systems failure in January 2019 has been completed; and if he will publish that report.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4493", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Richard Burgon"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Leeds East"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Richard Burgon"} ], "uin" : "264473"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1132157", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Justice"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1132157/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
As we have previously stated all staffing matters, including the responsibility for ensuring the availability of sufficiently trained and experienced staff to maintain safe and decent prisons, lies with Contractors. There is no requirement in the contracts to agree staffing levels with the Ministry of Justice. Private providers continue to play an important role in the prison estate and I can assure you that performance of all providers is closely monitored and we will not hesitate to take action where standards fall short.<\/p>
<\/p>
Prison population statistics are regularly published and can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/prison-population-figures-2018<\/a><\/p> <\/p> The table below displays the most recent figures that the Ministry of Justice has for the number of funded posts for Prison Custody Officers at each privately managed prison and the dates that these relate to.<\/p>
