Protected disclosures are one of the areas I wanted to look at. In a reply to a parliamentary question, I was informed that a number of protected disclosures that were made to the Department of Justice concerning the Prison Service but some of them were made to the Department of Justice and while others are made to the Prison Service. They are not operated the same. My understanding is that there is a different set of rules around each of them. Does the Department always use an outside investigator or are any of them investigated internally?
