On page 24, in reference to sick leave, it states that it has been alleged that under the overtime system there was an incentive for prison officers to "play the system" and that some prison officers took sick leave to boost the income of colleagues and vice versa. I am wondering why an allegation was included in this report. Our job is to examine facts and ventilate whether an allegation is, in fact, something that happened, so I am looking for clarification.
