HC Deb 13 November 2003 vol 413 c23WS
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department (Paul Goggins)

The performance data for HMP Moorland and HMYOI Hatfield published in Appendix 1 of the Prison Service Annual Report and Accounts for 2002–03 are shown separately but should have been combined. In June 2002, HMYOI Hatfield became an integral part of HMP Moorland and it is not appropriate or accurate to show the figures separately. Indeed the figures for cost per prisoner and cost per place cannot be separated.

In Appendix 1 of the published Prison Service Annual Report and Accounts, establishments are categorised by their main role only. Establishments that have more than one role have been placed in the category that represents the primary or dominant function of the prison. For this reason, performance of prisons ostensibly within the same category cannot necessarily be compared on a like-for-like basis. Performance at the following establishments in particular during 2002–03 was affected by dual functionality:

Brinsford (YO/Juvenile) Moorland (Closed/Open)
Castington (YO/Juvenile) Onley (YO/Juvenile)
Durham (Adult Male/Female) Stoke Heath (YO/Juvenile)
Feltham (YO/Juvenile) Thorn Cross (YO/Juvenile)
Highpoint (Adult Male/Female) Winchester (Adult Male/Female)
Lancaster Farms (YO/Juvenile) Wealstun (Closed/Open)

A correction to the Prison Service Annual Report and Accounts 2002–03 covering these issues has been placed in the Library.
