It builds upon the SPS Corporate Plan, published last year, and heralds work that has begun to transform how the Scottish Prison Service will do its business of contributing to Making Scotland Safer by protecting the public and reducing re-offending. In July 2012 I set out my ambitions for the SPS- an SPS, which as a key delivery arm of the Justice Family, makes a full and valued contribution to the delivery of the Justice Strategy for Scotland. We have made substantial progress in developing a route map that will give us a refreshed Vision and Strategy for the service including reconnection with Scottish Government, Local Authorities and the communities we serve. My vision is for SPS to be an organisation focused on delivering joined up services for offenders based on the evidence of what works best to achieve the most effective outcomes. I want the SPS to be an organisation with clear priorities for action, innovative approaches characterised by sustainable partnerships and a clear sense of ambition that harnesses the potential and capability of our staff to help towards delivering a Safer and Stronger Scotland. We have already started a significant communication process to ensure staff and partners are engaged with this transformational change process and we will be consulting widely as we rethink Scotland’s Prison Service to ensure it fits with wider justice outcomes and the delivery of a modern Justice System. The Organisational Review of the Scottish Prison Service commenced in November 2012 and will deliver its recommendations in the summer of 2013. It will produce a refreshed Vision, Mission and revised Operating Principles for the Scottish Prison Service, a revised role for Scottish Prison Service Headquarters with a supporting Board and Executive structure. In addition a new Framework document for the Agency with a supporting Governance and Performance Management Framework will be produced and crucially a programme of transformation and change designed to transform the effectiveness of our services aimed at protecting the public and reducing reoffending. The route map for that change programme will be set out in a revised Corporate Plan in 2013. During 2012 two further key priorities for the Scottish Prison Service have been taken forward and will progress into 2013-14. I am taking personal responsibility for delivering on the Scottish Government response to the recommendations of the Angiolini Report and our commitments to improving the conditions and outcomes for women offenders. I have also commissioned work on the future location of Scottish Prison Service Headquarters to ensure our efficiency and effectiveness in supporting the delivery of our Vision and Mission and our connections into Scottish Government. This current Interim Delivery Plan should be seen as a first step in this exciting journey that the SPS is undertaking. The Plan will continue to ensure that SPS delivers on-going and critical business outcomes as well as supporting the corporate expectations of Scottish Government and the public we serve. We have aligned our current plans with the Justice Strategy for Scotland and tested our plans with other members of the Justice family. I look forward to the challenges that lie ahead and to ensuring our contribution to Making Scotland Safer. Colin McConnell Chief Executive Scottish Prison Service April 2013 5 Scottish Prison Service Delivery Plan 2013-14 Welcome to the interim SPS Delivery Plan for the period 2013-14. This interim plan builds on the work taken forward last year ensuring continued progress in pursuit of the priorities and objectives set out in the Corporate Plan 2012-15. Our plans this year are set against the backdrop of the SPS Organisational Review, therefore the plan will be subject to change when the strategic priorities and recommendations arising from the Review are known. The SPS Corporate Plan describes the challenges we face, our operating context and our ambitions for delivery during the period 2012-15. The plan identifies five key Corporate Change Priorities and a range of Objectives – which describe our ambitions for the end of the three year planning period and the key corporate risks to our success. The annual Delivery Plan builds on these priorities and objectives and provides detail about how we intend to take these forward during the year progressing towards our corporate ambitions. The plan also has at its core our contribution to wider Scottish Government Corporate Expectations, the Justice Strategy for Scotland and the Scottish Government Performance Framework, in particular, the three key National Outcomes for the Justice System: We live our lives safe from crime, disorder and danger; We have strong, resilient and supportive communities where people take responsibility for their own actions and how they affect others; and Our public services are high quality, continually improving, efficient and responsive to local people’s needs. The Scottish Government is committed to a Scotland where we can live our lives safe from crime, disorder and danger. The Scottish Prison Service has a key part to play in contributing to public safety through reducing reoffending and protecting the public. The Corporate Plan and Delivery Plan reflect our commitment to working in a strategic way with key partners, as well as operationally, on the ground in our prisons and in the other services we manage. The plans have been developed in consultation with our key strategic stakeholders and our delivery partners. It builds upon previous plans and continues our corporate commitments that we will: Maintain secure custody and good order; and we will care for offenders with humanity and provide them with appropriate opportunities to address their risks and needs; Be recognised as a leader in offender management services for prisoners that help reduce reoffending and offer value for money for the taxpayer; and Work with Scottish Government, Justice and Learning Directorate, Community Justice Authorities, NHS, Local Authorities, ACPOS, ADSW and other partners in the public, private and voluntary sectors to deliver a whole system approach and to improve the quality and delivery of offender throughcare services, “joining up” to deliver better outcomes and a safer Scotland. Our Plans include actions across all four elements of our mission: Custody, Order, Care and Opportunity and our priorities are shaped around ensuring that the opportunities we provide maximise the potential for successful rehabilitation and reintegration of offenders and that we evidence our contribution to reducing reoffending. In taking these plans forward we are also ensuring that we deliver on equality and diversity responsibilities across our policy and operational practice. 6 This Delivery

    Friday 30 October 2015 SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT Learning and Justice Graeme Pearson (South Scotland) (Scottish Labour): To ask the Scottish Government how many prisoners have been prescribed methadone in each year since 2006-07, broken down by prison. (S4W-27817) Paul Wheelhouse: The following table provides a snapshot of data relating to the numbers of prisoners prescribed with methadone in each prison in Scotland from May 2006. This data is a count of the number of prisoners recorded as receiving a methadone prescription on a single day. This information was gathered by Scottish Prison Service (SPS) and the NHS to provide an indicative figure of the number of people in prisons in receipt of methadone. This data was collected by SPS up until 2010. There is a hiatus in data collection (2011-13) following the transfer of service provision from SPS to NHS, however, this data is now being collected twice a year by National Prisoner Healthcare Network. Further work is currently underway to determine the most effective model for incorporating and delivering the requirements which will allow future detailed reporting.

  • Scottish Government Response
    SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT RESPONSE REPORT ON THE VISIT TO THE UK CARRIED OUT BY THE COUNCIL OF EUROPE’S COMMITTEE FOR THE PREVENTION OF TORTURE AND INHUMAN OR DEGRADING TREATMENT OR PUNISHMENT (CPT) 17 TO 28 SEPTEMBER 2012 1 INTRODUCTION 1. The Scottish Government is committed to creating a modern, inclusive Scotland which protects, respects and realises the human rights of all. We strongly believe in and subscribe to the principles laid out in the European Convention on Human Rights, and find the practice of torture and the subjection of individuals to inhumane and degrading treatment to be abhorrent. 2. In Scotland, we are proud of our distinctive approach to creating safer and stronger communities and making justice work, but we recognise there is more to be done. That is why we welcome the scrutiny of the Council of Europe’s Committee for the Prevention of Torture, Inhumane and Degrading Treatment. We appreciate the constructive manner of the report that the Committee has delivered, and have considered its recommendations and comments carefully. 3. Where we have accepted the recommendation, we have said so and we have said how we intend to implement the recommendation. Equally, in the few areas where we disagree with the Committee, we have said so and stated our position clearly. Where the Committee has requested further information, we have attempted to provide that, in good faith. We appreciate that the Committee’s visit takes place in the context of an ongoing dialogue, and we look forward to continuing this in the future.
