Comment
The volume of home detention hearings reduced as expected due to the 2004 legislative changes relating to home detention. However, this was offset by an increase in parole hearings. There are many reasons for this increase, including the increased prison population.
The total number of hearings during the year was 9% above forecast but declined compared with the previous years.
With regard to the quality measures above, no verifiable recording systems are currently in place to accurately measure performance against these standards. A review of these measures will be undertaken in 2006/07 to determine whether these measures are appropriate and to ensure that systems are in place to accurately record performance against the revised measures resulting from this review.
