[121688]

Kelvin Hopkins:

Answer

The information requested is set out in the following table:

Community Accredited Programme Delivery by Programme 2011-12
Programme
 Commencements
 Completions
Low Intensity Alcohol Programme (LIAP)
 441
 364
Control of Violence for Angry and Impulsive Drinkers (COVAID)
 316
 239
Offender Substance Abuse Programme (OSAP)
 325
 185
Addressing Substance Related Offending (ASRO)
 470
 329
The Women's Programme
 162
 89

The figures in the table should not be used to estimate a completion rate for an individual programme: many offenders commencing during 2011-12 may actually complete in the following financial year. Likewise, a number of those completing during 2011-12 would have commenced in the previous financial year.

These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems, which, as with any large scale recording system, are subject to possible errors with data entry and processing.
