Annual Reports
Parole Board: The Parole Board has published its Business Plan for 2007/08, and Corporate Plan for 2007/2010 setting out aims, objectives & targets for the next 3 years. The Plans detail how the Board will manage a transformation of its work & workload as it moves towards a more oral hearing based system.
The introduction of indeterminate public protection sentences, brought in by the Criminal Justice Act 2003, and the impact of a number of important judicial review decisions, will significantly increase the workload of the Board and in particular the number of oral hearings that they hold.
Projected figures suggest that the number of oral hearings for IPP cases will rise from 500 in 2007/08 to 2,150 in 2009/10. Lifer oral hearings will continue to grow, but more slowly from 1,600 in 2007/08 to 1,800 in 2009/10.
