All prisoners are assessed by clinical staff when they arrive in prison. If mental health needs are identified, prisoners are referred for treatment or follow up assessment.<\/p>

Safety and security are crucial to supporting better mental health in prisons. We committed to an increase of 2,500 prison officers by the end of 2018, and have recruited 1,255 to date, putting us on track.<\/p>

Additional staff will enable us to provide dedicated officers for offenders who will be better placed to recognise and react to changes in behaviour or mental well-being.<\/p>

All staff in prisons will receive revised mental health awareness training and, so far, 11,000 have started this training.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3921", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dr Phillip Lee"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bracknell"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Dr Phillip Lee"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-01-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : {"_value" : "903502"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-01-23T17:23:42.787Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-01-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Prisoners: Mental Health Services"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "What steps his Department is taking to improve support for prisoners with mental health conditions.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4656", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Layla Moran"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Oxford West and Abingdon"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Layla Moran"} ], "uin" : "903499"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/828317", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Justice"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/828317/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Using court processes to further abuse is completely unacceptable. Family courts have the power to act if they see evidence of this.<\/p>

The court can strike out any action it views as an abuse of process or issue an order restricting the litigant\u2019s ability to continue with further applications or claims.<\/p>

New family court rules were introduced in November to make sure vulnerable court users get the support they need in the courtroom.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4517", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lucy Frazer"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South East Cambridgeshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lucy Frazer"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-01-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-01-23T17:31:51.007Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-01-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Family Courts"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "What steps he is taking to reduce the number of cases in which people are repeatedly compelled to appear in a family court due to action by a former partner.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4471", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Rachael Maskell"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "York Central"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Rachael Maskell"} ], "uin" : "903500"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/827901", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Justice"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/827901/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Whilst the Government recognises that it is important that there are enough immigration lawyers to meet demand, the legal services sector is rightly independent of government and the training of new lawyers is a matter for the legal services regulators and profession itself. I can confirm the Solicitors\u2019 Regulation Authority has indicated that there are currently 1,885 out of some 10,400 recognised law firms that have a proportion of their work in immigration.<\/p>

Her Majesty\u2019s Prisons and Probation Service (HMPPS) does not calculate separately the average cost of community supervision by gender. Additionally, the information recorded on the HMPPS central accounting system does not allow the identification of such costs.<\/p>

<\/p>

In respect of information for average cost for female prisoners serving custodial prison sentences, HMPPS routinely publishes average costs per prisoner, costs per prison place and overall prison unit costs for each private and public sector prison in England and Wales, including all categories of the female estate. This information is produced on an annual basis and is published after the end of each financial year.<\/p>

<\/p>

Information on prison expenditure for previous financial years can be accessed in the Prison and Probation Performance Statistics pages for each financial year on the www.gov.uk<\/a> website. Prison unit costs can be found within the Excel document Costs per prison place and cost per prisoner by individual prison establishment in the \u2018Cost by Establishment\u2019 tab.<\/p>

<\/p>

The most recent published figures for financial year 2016-17 can be accessed on the www.gov.uk website from the following link:<\/p>

This information is not held centrally and can only be obtained at disproportionate cost.<\/p>

<\/p>

We recognise the impact that imprisonment has on the offender and their families, particularly children.<\/p>

<\/p>

Work is ongoing to improve the quality of information that sentencers receive about community sentencing options and to ensure that sentencers are made aware and can take account of whether an offender is a primary carer or has been pregnant or given birth within the last 6 months.<\/p>

<\/p>

We will shortly be setting out our strategy for female offenders, to improve outcomes for women in the community and in custody. This will include women with young children, babies and other caring responsibilities.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3921", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dr Phillip Lee"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bracknell"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Dr Phillip Lee"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-01-25", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-01-25T16:28:04.49Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-01-22", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Sentencing: Females"} , "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, how many and what proportion of women who have received a custodial prison sentence have had children under the age of 18 at the time of their sentencing in each of the last five years.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/534", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Chris Ruane"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Vale of Clwyd"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Chris Ruane"} ], "uin" : "123960"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/828001", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Justice"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/828001/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

We are committed to doing all we can to address the issues around female offending so we can better protect the public and deliver more effective rehabilitation. That is why we plan to set out a strategy for female offenders, to improve outcomes and services for women in both the community and custody<\/p>

<\/p>

The table below shows the proven reoffending data for adult females released from custody or receiving community orders between January 2011 and December 2015. As it shows, reconviction rates have remained relatively stable across this period.<\/p>

1. Community Orders were introduced in the Criminal Justice Act 2003 and came into force from April 2005. "-" indicates that data is not available for January - March 2005.<\/p><\/td><\/tr>

2. These figures have been derived from administrative IT systems, which as with any large scale recording system, are subject to possible errors with data entry and processing.<\/p><\/td><\/tr>

3. A proven reoffence is defined as any offence committed in a one year follow-up period that leads to a court conviction, caution, reprimand or warning in the one year follow-up or within a further six month waiting period to allow the offence to be proven in court.<\/p><\/td><\/tr>

4. Number of offenders in each disposal category do not sum to the total number of offenders. This is due to a difference in methodology to provide a realistic and relevant view of proven reoffending by disposal type. The first event within each disposal is taken as the start point. Therefore, some offenders will appear in more than one disposal category.<\/p><\/td><\/tr>

5. From October 2015 onwards, reoffending data are collected using different data sources to previous quarters. January to March 2005 is the earliest quarter for which proven reoffending data exists, however the quarters before October 2015 are not directly comparable to those after.<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>
