His response is as follows.The available information is as follows.The number of social workers providing social work service at Edinburgh Prison is currently five and the number of social workers providing social work service at Dumfries is currently 1.5.Glenochil and Polmont have social work service delivered through a contract and the service is therefore based on outputs rather then staff numbers.The information in previous years is not readily available and could not be collected except at disproportionate cost.

I have asked Tony Cameron, Chief Executive of the Scottish Prison Service to respond. His response is as follows:The Controller and his staff are responsible for certain statutory functions as well as for contract monitoring. It is not possible to separately identify the costs associated with ensuring contract compliance. The cost of the Controller's function at HMP Kilmarnock has been:

The information requested is not available.All requests for information received by the Scottish Executive and other public authorities covered by the Code of Practice on Access to Scottish Executive Information must be considered under the terms of the code. As the number of requests for information run into many thousands it is not practicable to provide detailed information on the associated costs. For monitoring purposes, statistics are collected on those requests where the applicant specifically mentions the code, or where the request is refused or where charges are made. During the calendar year 2000 there were 44 such requests.

Sulisker's refit was completed by Dunston (Ship Repairers) Ltd within the allocated time and budget. However, she was not in service for a further seven days due to delays on work by specialist engineering and fire control contractors who had been directly contracted by Scottish Fisheries Protection Agency to undertake additional works while the vessel was in refit.
