[i]The Government places great value on the work prison staff undertake on behalf of society. I am pleased to announce that the Government has accepted the independent Prison Service Pay Review Body’s recommendations in full.

This decision recognises important reform work that is being progressed across public sector prisons to deliver significant savings for the tax payer.

NOMS Chief Executive Officer, Michael Spurr said:

I am pleased that the independent Prison Service Pay Review Body has acknowledged the difficult work being done by prison staff in an unprecedented period of change.

Their recommendations – supported in full by the Government – recognise the scale of challenge in public sector prisons and the professional way in which staff have responded to this.

The PSPRB have also supported the Government’s proposals to invest in important reform to managers’ pay so they can lead by example in taking forward the necessary changes across the service.[/i]

Yeehaa! Think I'll order a new car!
