The expenditure on Health and Safety Training by the Ministry is stated as follows:
£ 2008-09 Ministry of Justice HQ 47,366 HM Courts Service 286,805 Tribunals Service 21,523 Office of the Public Guardian 500 Total 356,194 2007-08 Ministry of Justice HQ 60,441 HM Courts Service 293,552 Tribunals Service 19,810 Office of the Public Guardian 500 Total 374,303
The expenditure incurred is for external training courses only with the use of approved Health and Safety training consultants.
To supplement these external courses, internal Health and Safety training is provided across the Ministry by in-house staff. To obtain an accurate figure for this would incur disproportionate cost.
The National Offender Management Service employs over 50,000 staff in more than 140 locations. At present, there is no single central point for management information relating to health and safety training for staff. To obtain the information requested would involve identifying and contacting sources of information in many different locations and would thus incur disproportionate costs.
