Young People: Remand in Custody

Dr. Vis: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how many children have been placed in each secure training centre by local authorities whilst on remand in each month in the last two years. [296965]

Maria Eagle: The decision as to whether to remand a young person under 18 to custody is entirely for the courts. The Youth Justice Board has the authority to place young people into custody, including secure training centres, on behalf of the Secretary of State. The table sets out the number of occasions on which young people have been remanded to secure training centres between September 2007 and August 2009.

The data have been provided by the Youth Justice Board and are drawn from administrative computer systems. As with any large scale recording system, the data are subject to possible errors with data entry and processing and may be subject to change over time.

Notes:
1. The programme budgeting data collection is complex-expenditure figures are therefore presented as 'best estimates'.
2. Working with the national health service, we continue to refine and improve the data collection methodology. This, along with refinements to underlying data sources, makes like-for-like comparisons between years difficult.
3. Disease specific expenditure will not include expenditure on prevention, or general practitioner expenditure, but will include prescribing expenditure.
4. England level expenditure is estimated gross expenditure, and includes core Department of Health, SHA and some Special Health Authority expenditure as well as PCTs.
5. SHA level expenditure is the combined expenditure of each PCT within the SHA area. PCT expenditure is estimated expenditure on PCTs own population.
