WQ.202/2022

WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES BY DEPUTY T.A. COLES OF ST. HELIER SOUTH

QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 10th OCTOBER 2022

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 17th OCTOBER 2022

Question

Will the Minister provide the cost of all medical sampling, including shipping costs, but excluding Covid-19 related samples, where it has not been possible for the Pathology Department – or wider Government of Jersey – to undertake the required analysis in the Island over the last five years, broken down by the quarter in which the costs were incurred?

Answer

Note: This response follows the Minister’s interim response tabled on 17 October 2022:

“Additional time is required to collate the information requested; the data is held in such a way that it will need to be reviewed manually to separate Covid-19 related samples as required by the question. It is expected that this will take circa two weeks and so a follow up response will be submitted to the States Greffe on Monday 31 October 2022. “

Please see breakdown of the financial cost of all diagnostic pathology analysis including referrals for second opinions and freight below (excluding covid).
