Letter from Mr. Richard Tilt to Mr. George Howarth, dated 2 November 1995:
The Home Secretary has asked me to reply to your recent Question about proposed changes to the Prison Service's Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).The Prison Service has achieved its existing targets on visits and trebling. The remaining indicators do not now fully reflect the impact of new work that the Service has taken on (for example, the mandatory drug testing programme). The Service is therefore committed to developing new indicators to reflect its performance across the range of its work.
We are now considering what changes are necessary in the light of Sir John Learmont's recommendation on performance indicators.
The Prison Service Framework Document requires changes to the KPIs to be approved by Home Office, Treasury and Office of Public Service Ministers.
§ Mr. George HowarthTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list the figures for each key performance indicator for each prison for the year 1994–95. [40453]
§ Miss WiddecombeResponsibility for this matter has been delegated to the temporary Director General of the Prison Service, who has been asked to arrange for a reply to be given.
Letter from Richard Tilt to Mr. George Howarth, dated 2 November 1995:
The Home Secretary has asked me to reply to your recent Question about figures for key performance indicators (KPIs) for the year 1994–95.The figures are set out in the attached tables, copies of which will be placed in the Library of the House. Establishments are grouped by type to make it easier to compare performance between establishments of a similar kind.
The tables do not include data on KPIs 3, 4 or 7. The target for KPI 3 was to ensure that the average number of prisoners held three to a cell intended for one was fewer than in 1993–94. The outcome was that there was no trebling in any establishment. On KPI 4, the target was to provide 24 hour access to sanitation in at least 3,500 more cells, thus ensuring that at least 95% of prisoners have access to sanitation at all times. This target is managed nationally, not locally, and the outcome was that 4,191 more cells were provided with 24 hour access to sanitation. On KPI 7, the target was to ensure that all prisons had the opportunity to exceed the minimum visiting entitlement throughout the year. This was achieved in full at all establishments.
