After the expiry of 14 days following the presentation to the States of this transfer, the Minister hereby authorises the Treasurer of the States to action the transfer outlined in the table above. (More detail on the transfer is given below.)
Background
Funding of Phase 6 of the Prison Masterplan was allocated in the 2018 Capital Programme. The project is managed by the Department for Infrastructure ("DfI"), and work is progressing on the feasibility study.
The Prison Governor has indicated that the introduction of a Key Vending System, which gives each officer a locker in which they store/charge keys, will assist in the day- to-day operation of the Prison and could reduce staff numbers by one FTE. However, this would result in an additional cost of approximately £220,000 for which there is no provision within the existing capital budget.
The Prison has a forecast revenue underspend in 2018 due to staff vacancies (non- recurring), so the additional cost of Phase 6 of the Prison Masterplan could be managed.
The Minister approved the transfer of £220,000 in 2018 from the Community and Constitutional Affairs revenue head of expenditure to the Department of Infrastructure Prison Phase 6 (FA0MF18025) capital head of expenditure. This decision does not change the total amount of expenditure approved by the States for 2017–2019 in the Medium Term Financial Plan.
