I thank our guests for coming before the committee and I ask them to convey our thanks to all of the staff in the Prison Service for the work they do. Particularly during the pandemic, I have to say the record of the Prison Service was exemplary and something that should rightfully be a source of pride.

One of the questions I have, and perhaps it is in the accounts as a line item but I did not see it, is with regard to psychologists. Do the witnesses have a figure for how many psychologists were employed in 2019 and the costs associated with this? Do they have corresponding estimates for 2020?
