After the expiry of 4 weeks following the presentation to the States of these transfers, the Minister hereby authorises the Treasurer of the States to action the transfers outlined in the table above.

Background

In 2019 the decision was made to create one centralised Digital function which aligns with the OneGov principles. The position and service this transfer relates to was historically managed internally by the HCS department.

The transfer will enable the function of the crematorium to sit within the Office of the Superintendent Registrar who has overarching responsibility for the registration of all deaths on the island and will enable end of life services and support to be aligned.

The breakdown of budget to be transferred that relates to services to be either delivered or naturally managed by CLS is provided below:

It has been confirmed that there are no capital budgets to be transferred. Due diligence in respect of the above transfer has been undertaken by the Finance Business Partners teams and the Project Manager in October 2020. It has been agreed that CLS will take responsibility  for  external  engineering  costs  in  respect  of  crematorium  plant  and equipment. HCS will continue to carry out grounds maintenance and therefore there is no budget transfer to cover these costs.
