Public Accounts Committee

2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 21 - Prisons

9:00 am

Mr. Don Culliton:

This relates to a small number of people but I do not have the exact number today because it changes on an ongoing basis. In the normal course of events, we can accommodate people but the accommodations policy is one which is designed to allow people to regain full health. It is a temporary accommodations policy. If someone is permanently or long term in a position where he or she is unable to undertake the full range of duties that attach to the role of prison officer, then he or she would remain on sick leave.
