HMP Winchester has improved its performance since the last inspection, but the National Offender Management Service (NOMS) accepts there is more to do. NOMS will use the recommendations from HM Inspectorate of Prisons' (HMIP) report published on 24 June to drive forward further improvements within the next 12 months. As with all inspection reports, NOMS will now produce an action plan in response to the recommendations made in the report.<\/p>
<\/p>
I will therefore write to the noble Lord with details of the response to HMIP's recommendations once the action plan has been sent to the Chief Inspector.<\/p>
(HL581)<\/strong><\/p> <\/p> The National Offender Management Service (NOMS) carefully considers the findings of all HM Inspectorate of Prisons (HMIP) reports. Action plans responding to the recommendations made in each report are provided to HMIP within six months of publication. NOMS Deputy Directors of Custody are then responsible for overseeing the progress of implementing accepted recommendations within the prisons in their region, with heads of policy monitoring the progress of nationally agreed actions.<\/p> (HL582)<\/strong><\/p> <\/p>"}
