WQ.155/2020
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER BY SENATOR K.L. MOORE
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 12th MAY 2020
Question
Will the Chief Minister state –
- how many people (both on full-time contracts or engaged as consultants) are working remotely for the Government of Jersey from a home based in the U.K.; and
- how many contracts with consultants, if any, have been put on hold during the current Covid-19 situation and what the consequent saving, if any, is estimated to be?
Revised Answer
- At the end of April there were 30 consultants (including interims) engaged by the Government on a number of critical projects and programmes of work. Of the 30, 8 are residents of the Island and 22 are residents in the UK.
Of the 22 residents in the UK, 3 are currently on Island and 19 are delivering their contractual obligations from the UK.
A number, by the nature of the work they have been contracted to deliver are supporting critical work for the Island's COVID-19 response, including the emergency resourcing provision within Health and Community Services, People and Corporate Services and our network and systems infrastructure.
There are 20 employees working from the United Kingdom at present:
Department | Number of Employees |
Health and Community Services | 3 |
Growth, Housing and Environment | 2 |
Treasury and Exchequer | 3 |
Office of Chief Executive | 1 |
Strategic Policy, Planning and Population | 4 |
Children, Young People, Education and Skills | 4 |
Chief Operating Office | 3 |
|
|
Total | 20 |
- There have been no consultancy contracts put on hold during this period as we have been able to maintain our work plans to a large extent. Contracts that were due to end have been ended.
