To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S2W-15618 by Cathy Jamieson on 14 April 2005, how often the Scottish Prison Service checks to confirm that Premier Prison Services Ltd is meeting its contractual commitments to employ one or more registered mental health nurse.

The contract places the onus on the contractor, requiring them to inform SPS of any failures to meet contractual commitments.
