Richard Burgon MP, Labour’s Shadow Justice Secretary, responding to comments made by the President of the Prison Governors Association, said:
“The President of the Prison Governors Association today confirmed the deep crisis in our prisons. Her members are understandably devastated by the decline of their service. This crisis has been created by the disastrous policies of the Conservative Government. Prison officer numbers have been slashed while overcrowding has risen.
“Last week it was announced that violence in our prisons was at record levels. This week we have seen riots in The Mount and Erlestoke prisons. The situation cannot be allowed to continue. Prisoners are not being rehabilitated and this is putting the public at risk. Only a Labour government will provide the investment, staff and attention needed to end the prisons crisis the Conservatives created and are failing to resolve.“

Barbara Keeley MP, Shadow Cabinet Minister for Social Care, commenting on the BBC’s You and Yours report of the shortfall in the numbers of care home beds said:
“Seven years of Tory inaction has taken a toll on the social care sector. The Tories’ record is clear – insufficient beds in residential care, one in three nursing homes failing inspections and 1.2 million older people living with unmet care needs.
“Keeping people out of hospital and residential care means investing properly in home care, intermediate facilities and supported housing. Yet, this Government has chosen instead to cut local authority budgets, taking £4.6 billion out of social care.
“We need a Labour Government to give social care the investment required to meet the needs of our growing older population. Our Manifesto set out our plans to increase social care budgets by £8 billion over the next Parliament and to work towards a National Care Service.”
