REPORT
This amendment mirrors and replaces the Eighth Amendment proposed by the Deputy of St. Saviour.
The Council accepts the principle of the amendment and agrees that an independent arrangement for persons raising serious concerns should benefit the whole States. In order for a proper assessment to be made, the feasibility study should therefore be undertaken under the auspices of the Chief Minister's Department to ensure that any resulting process can be used appropriately States-wide.
Accordingly, this amendment seeks to transfer the responsibility for delivering arrangements for an independent assessment of persons raising serious concerns to the Chief Minister.
