Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts Special Report No. 93: Annualised Hours of the Prison Service

Mr. Noel Waters:
We were operating in that period under what was an agreed employment control framework, ECF, number whereby we were paying for more staff than were actually required at the time. We were paying fewer staff in 2016 than in 2015. The staffing figure at the end of 2016 was 3,215, compared with 3,308 at the end of 2015. That gave rise to the differential in the figures.
