Whilst the Northern Irel<strong>and</strong> Prison Service expects<br />
to recover the monies involved, the two cases<br />
are being reported as losses in accordance with<br />
Managing Public Money until such time as the funds<br />
have been received.<br />
The Northern Irel<strong>and</strong> Prison Service does not hold<br />
general insurance, but instead charges expenditure<br />
in connection with uninsured risks as incurred.<br />
22. Related Party Transactions<br />
In addition the <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Justice</strong> has had<br />
various material transactions with other government<br />
departments <strong>and</strong> other central government bodies.<br />
Most <strong>of</strong> these transactions have been with the<br />
<strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> Health, Social Services <strong>and</strong> Public<br />
Safety, the <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> Finance <strong>and</strong> Personnel<br />
<strong>and</strong> related Agencies.<br />
No board member, key manager or other related<br />
parties has undertaken any material transactions<br />
with the Northern Irel<strong>and</strong> Prison Service.<br />
The Northern Irel<strong>and</strong> Prison Service is an Executive<br />
Agency <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Justice</strong> (Northern<br />
Irel<strong>and</strong>), which was regarded as a related party.<br />
During the year the Agency has had various material<br />
transactions with the <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Justice</strong><br />
(Northern Irel<strong>and</strong>), <strong>and</strong> with other entities for which<br />
the <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Justice</strong> (Northern Irel<strong>and</strong>) is the<br />
parent <strong>Department</strong>, viz:<br />
- Forensic Science Northern Irel<strong>and</strong><br />
- The Northern Irel<strong>and</strong> Courts <strong>and</strong> Tribunals service<br />
- The Compensation Agency<br />
- The Youth <strong>Justice</strong> Agency<br />
- The Northern Irel<strong>and</strong> Policing Board<br />
- Police Service <strong>of</strong> Northern Irel<strong>and</strong><br />
- The Probation Board for Northern Irel<strong>and</strong><br />
Amounts totalling £607k were paid to Northern<br />
Irel<strong>and</strong> Water in monthly water <strong>and</strong> sewage charges<br />
in respect <strong>of</strong> all the prison establishments. The<br />
balance <strong>of</strong> monies owing at 31 March 20<strong>13</strong> was £nil<br />
(Donald Price is a Non-Executive Director <strong>of</strong> this<br />
organisation).<br />
Amounts totalling £173k were paid to G4S (Phil<br />
Wheatley <strong>and</strong> Paul Leighton provide consultancy<br />
services to G4S). The balance <strong>of</strong> monies owing at<br />
31 March 20<strong>13</strong> was £2k.<br />
Great care is taken to ensure that any work Phil<br />
Wheatley, a non executive director or Paul Leighton<br />
carry out in their respective roles as consultants to<br />
G4S does not relate to <strong>NIPS</strong>.<br />
