Text

I thank the Minister for her answer. I know the hard work that the Department has done on support for operational prison staff. Recommendation 6(c) of the report recommended that a human resources team be set up at Prison Service headquarters to deal with the bespoke matters in the Prison Service individuals' issues, which used to be the case. Does that mean nearly reverting to what we had previously, as opposed to issues being dealt with by the Northern Ireland Civil Service (NICS) HR?
