Parole Administration 2. The Committee in all its oversight reports highlighted that much of the frustration surrounding parole was the result of a lack of information, poor public awareness and inefficient administration. Unfortunately it had not had sufficient time to conduct a review of the parole system so as to assess the effectiveness with which it was administered, and to propose specific recommendations for its improvements. 3. The Committee had at the beginning of its term met with a cross section of CSPB chair- and vice-chairpersons. During the interaction the representatives raised a series of challenges impacting on their efficiency e.g. slow filling of vacancies, poor attendance by members, ineffective and poorly-resourced case management committees, and the impact of the social worker and psychologist-shortage.
