Maria Eagle: The Ministry of Justice is seeking efficiency savings over the next three years as set out in the Department's annual report for 2007-08.
Funding plans for 2009-10 and 2010-11 have not yet been agreed. As is the case across Government, the National Probation Service will need to make efficiency savings, in this case around 2.5 per cent. next financial year.
The National Offender Management Service is working to determine how the saving can be achieved in ways that protect front line services. The aim is to remove overhead and administration and drive improvement in underperforming or expensive services.
Ultimately, the size and scope of any staffing reductions will rest with the 42 areas and trusts who manage probation business at the local level.

[239150]
Maria Eagle: There have been no compulsory redundancies since the creation of the MoJ in May 2007. Data on the number and costs for voluntary staff exits are not held centrally in the format requested and can be provided only at disproportionate cost.
Looking forward, it has been clear since the publication of MoJ's CSR07 settlement that the Department and its constituent bodies would have to reduce previously planned budgets. The MoJ will be taking all necessary steps to reduce overheads, remove duplication and increase efficiencies in order to prioritise front line services.
The efficiency savings plan for MoJ for 2008-09 is underway. We are developing over the next few months the performance and efficiency plan for MoJ and its constituent bodies to cover 2009-10 and 2010-11. When that plan is agreed for 2009-10 and 2010-11, we will be in a position to inform Parliament of the impact on MoJ.
