2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 21 - Prisons
9:00 am
Ms Caron McCaffrey:
As I mentioned, one of our key objectives is to reduce the number of claims for which we are liable. One of those claim areas is around unlawful detention. If we have systems of insurance and checks and balances in place at prison level, it mitigates any compensation we might be exposed to at a future date.
