What aspects of substandard performance led to payments to the contractor being reduced by £5,869 for the first quarter's operation of the Medway Secure Training Centre. [HL82]
§ Lord Williams of MostynThe Contractor incurred performance points in five out of six areas of performance measurement: safety and security; care and control; living conditions; regime; and preparation for release. In addition, performance points were incurred for non-reporting of performance events.
§ Lord Actonasked Her Majesty's Government:

§ Lord Williams of MostynThe pricing basis of the secure training centre contract depends on the availability of places and the quality of service provided. There is no distinction within the contract between the cost of accommodating male or female trainees. On the question of costs, I refer to my reply on 27 April (col. 9), when I explained to noble Lords that, if we exclude capital costs, the average cost of a place at Medway would be £2,400 per week.
