Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts Special Report No. 93: Annualised Hours of the Prison Service
9:00 am
Ms Caron McCaffrey:
They are available now. They were introduced last year. We have an employee assistance service and local officers in each of the prisons who work with our national service to provide dedicated support to the staff. I would like to acknowledge the work they do on the ground. These efforts are to supplement the efforts being made within the prisons already.
