I return to the point I raised with the Comptroller and Auditor General about the allegation that was made about prison officers playing the system and overtime and so on. I would also like to deal with the issue of sick leave, which is important. What impact does the physical environment of the job of prison officers, the conditions under which they work and stress have on sick leave? Could the witnesses please elaborate on that?
