Annual Update to the MTFP Department Annex for 2015

Introduction

The States approved the first Medium Term Financial Plan for Jersey in November 2012. This represented a move to a 3-year planning framework, or Medium Term Financial Planning. For the first time the States of Jersey agreed total expenditure limits and minimum budgets for all departments

3 years in advance and moved away from short-term decision making. This change was intended to provide flexibility, deliver efficiencies and move to longer-term thinking within a more certain financial framework that will ultimately benefit the Island.

The Medium Term Financial Plan 2013 2015 was split into two parts:

  The formal lodged report providing the background to the financial and economic position, the

revenue and capital expenditure proposals and details of the measures that are proposed to balance budgets and actively manage the balance sheet over the next three years.

  The first department annex to the Medium Term Financial Plan provided information to support the

main report including a summary of each department s key objectives towards delivering the seven strategic priorities and the detail of how the proposed department expenditure limits would be allocated to services.

This Annual Update to the Medium Term Financial Plan Department Annex for 2015 follows a similar document produced for 2015 and provides an essential update of the department revenue and capital expenditure allocations for any permanent approved changes since the MTFP was agreed in November 2012.

The annual updates to the MTFP expenditure allocations are important as they provide a revised position for departments and an updated point of reference for the Financial Report and Accounts. Importantly, ALL the changes in expenditure allocations reported in the annual updates remain within the total States expenditure limits agreed in the MTFP by the States.

The first Update was provided last year, giving a revised starting position for 2014. All of the changes in expenditure allocations were recurring and therefore appear again in the 2015 Update, accompanied by any further permanent changes which have been approved during 2014.

The Annual Update to the Medium Term Financial Plan Department Annex for 2015 includes permanent and approved changes in expenditure allocations for:

  allocations of Central Growth for 2015 as agreed in the 2014 Budget,

  capital expenditure allocations to individual projects for 2015 as agreed in the 2015 Budget,   service transfers between departments,

  allocations from the Central Contingency (Pay Provision) to departments, and

  the allocation of Corporate Procurement Savings to departments.

The Annual Update to the Medium Term Financial Plan Department Annex for 2015 also includes:

  an introduction from each Minister including any changes to the main priorities, key objectives and

success criteria for the department in 2015,

INTRODUCTION  PAGE 3

  a detailed service analysis for each department for 2015, including staffing levels and a split of

gross expenditure and income across cash and near cash (which includes depreciation and other non-cash items),

  a statement of comprehensive net expenditure for each department for 2015,

  a reconciliation of the changes in expenditure allocations since the MTFP for 2015,   a summary of the States net revenue expenditure for 2015, and

  a summary of the States proposed capital programme for 2015.

The Minister for Treasury and Resources is indebted to all departments for their co-operation in providing this information.

2015 Budget Measures

As part of the 2015 Budget it was identified that additional savings would be required from all Departments as part of a range of measures necessary to manage the consolidated fund balance in 2015. Each Department (excluding Overseas Aid and States Trading Departments) has been required to make savings equivalent to 2% of gross revenue expenditure. This quantum has been deducted from Departments cash limits for 2015 although identification of the specific recurring savings may not be finalised until June 2015.

In addition to Departmental savings, the Council of Ministers agreed that the 2015 Central Pay Provision should be reduced by 1% as part of the 2015 Budget Measures.

These savings have been transferred to a specific area of the Central Contingency Allocations and will be used along with other contributions to manage the consolidated fund balance in 2015.

Medium Term Financial Plan 2016–2019

This Annual Update will be the final document of the current MTFP 2013 2015.

Work has already begun on the next Medium Term Financial Plan which will cover the period 2016 2019. This is due to be lodged in late June 2015, for debate at the end of September 2015. A full MTFP Department Annex 2016 2019 will be produced at this time.

Minister's Introduction

The Chief Minister s Department is structured into two main service areas, with separate Accounting Officers:

  1. Chief Executive

  Policy Unit (policy support and research for the Council of Ministers and Chief Executive;

economic advice, communications; statistics; the Population Office; Emergency Planning; Law Draftsman s Office

  Information Services

  Human Resources

  Financial Services

  Public Sector Reform Programme Office

  1. Director of External Relations and Constitutional Affairs

  UK, European and International relations support for the Chief Minister, Minister for External

Relations and other Ministers;

  Policy advice and implementation to support the Chief Minister s responsibility within the

executive branch of government for policy and resources in relation to the overall justice system, safeguarding human rights, external data protection issues, legal services, constitutional reform and strengthening democracy.

The prime focus of the department during the three years from 2013 to 2015 is to support and co- ordinate the Council of Ministers to deliver the priorities approved by the States in the Strategic Plan, to develop policy and prepare for further Public Sector Reform over the longer term.

The appointment of a Minister with responsibility for External Relations has fostered increased recognition of Jersey s international identity and development of the Island s beneficial relations with other countries. The clarification by the States Assembly that the office of Chief Minister is responsible for justice policy and resources, constitutional reform and strengthening democracy, has brought a new focus to reforming the workings of all branches of government to meet current standards of best practice whilst maintaining the best traditions of the Island.

The department will continue to deliver and develop its services to the public and other States departments in line with its twin objectives of improving quality and efficiency.

2015 Budget Measures

As part of the 2015 Budget it was identified that additional savings would be required from all Departments as part of a range of measures necessary to manage the consolidated fund balance

in 2015. The quantum of savings allocated to the Chief Ministers Department amounts to £486k and although the Department is fully committed to meeting this target, it is not yet known precisely how the Department will make these savings.

The core projects and issues for each area of the Department over the MTFP period are:

  1. Chief Executive

Policy

The Strategic Plan approved in 2012 has driven the department s policy programme. In support of this, the way policy is developed and monitored has been reviewed and enhanced to ensure appropriate co-ordination and sound performance management. The results of the 2011 census are being used to inform policy development.

Migration policy and the level of net migration, once approved by the States, will be monitored with the appropriate review mechanisms. The Control of Housing and Work Law and the draft Register of Names and Addresses Law is providing the mechanism for regulating inward migration therefore systems have been developed for their implementation.

A significant priority is to continue to progress policy initiatives designed to address the effects of the ageing population. This will require cross-department planning and working.

An important part of our work is to improve the transparency of government decisions and continue to increase public engagement in the development of policy. This includes co-ordinating the development of an implementation plan for the Freedom of Information legislation approved by the States in 2011. Funding for the project has been agreed and will be drawn down from Central Contingencies as required.

The provision of quality economic advice continues to support effective management of the economy, as will the production of relevant statistics and statistical bulletins.

The Emergencies Council will continue to lead a programme of improvements to the emergency planning and management structures and processes supported by the Emergency Planning Board.

Law Drafting

The Law Draftsman s department is a vital service providing the legislative framework within which the States operates and services are provided. In 2013, the Law Draftsman s department underwent a recruitment process for additional resource to address urgent legislation required to deliver the CSR and support initiatives to grow the economy and protect jobs. Two additional draftsmen have been made permanent from 2014 to be able to meet the underlying demand for law drafting.

Information Services

The Information Services Department (ISD) manages corporate IT services such as the network infrastructure, PC management, data centres, and provides the framework for managing IS projects and business projects with an IS element. Core business applications are managed by ISD at a Departmental level through embedded Business Support Groups (BSGs).

The priority for the MTFP period is to support the delivery of CSR savings and the new Strategic Plan objectives across the States where these are dependent on technology solutions, and in some cases improve the level of service provided.

Key activities in the MTFP period are:

  upgrade of PC office information systems

  consolidating existing data centres

  streamlining the support model for corporate systems and services

  supporting projects to improve finance and HR systems and processes

  continuing the development of web services and more citizen services online.

Human Resources

Human Resources (HR) core purpose is to provide strategic and transactional people management support to States Departments to deliver their departmental and CSR objectives.

  In order to fulfil this accountability, the function is delivering a number of key activities during the

MTFP period:

» completion and implementation of the Terms and Conditions Review

» harmonisation of policies and contracts of employment

» job evaluation of all roles to inform the creation of a new reward framework

» provide Organisational Development and Performance Management improvements

» upgrade or replace the Human Resources Information Systems (HRIS)

» reshape HR to support the future structure of the States organisation

» provide a Workforce Plan and Succession and Talent management process focussing on supplying the right successful local candidates for key roles.

Public Sector Reform

In this period, the Department is providing a Programme Management Office to plan, co-ordinate, manage and monitor a programme of Public Sector Reform by developing wide-ranging policy and plans to modernise and prepare the organisation to meet the challenges of the future.

  1. External Relations and Constitutional Affairs

During 2013, the importance of UK, European and international affairs was recognised by the establishment and appointment of a Minister for External Relations. Under these new arrangements

the Department seeks to continue to protect Jersey s unique constitution and autonomy; to promote Jersey s international identity and good reputation as a responsible country committed to the rule of law, international standards and respect for internationally recognised human and labour rights; to develop Jersey s competitive position in the global economy; and to promote Jersey s cultural identity abroad.

Also during 2013, the States Assembly confirmed that the office of Chief Minister is responsible within the executive branch of government for policy and resources in relation to the overall justice system, safeguarding human rights, data protection, legal services, constitutional reform, and strengthening democracy. The focus of policy development includes the completion of the Machinery of Government Review in partnership with the Privileges & Procedures Committee and the Chairmen s Committee, initiating a review of Access to Justice in Jersey and issuing a green paper regarding the establishment of a Judicial and Legal Services Commission for Jersey.

  1. Financial Services

During 2013, following the jurisdictional review undertaken, the importance of the finance industry was recognised by the transfer of the financial services department from Economic Development Department to the Chief Ministers Department.

Central Growth Allocations

External Relations: International meetings, Monitoring, and visiting Dignitaries £160,000 from 2014

External Relations was established using non-recurring funding sources. During 2010 and 2011

this cost was met from Fiscal Stimulus. This budget has been reduced from £260,000 in 2011 after agreeing joint monitoring contracts with Guernsey from 2012 onwards, closing the London office space used previously by the Director of International Finance and cancelling the Paris monitoring contract. Whilst there is now a recurring budget for the 6 core staff and office expenses, the international operations programme is not funded. The international operations programme requires a recurring budget of £160,000 from 2014.

External Relations: External specialist advice £100,000 from 2014

Since its establishment with non-recurring funding, External Relations has needed to commission specialist technical advice. Currently, technical expert advice from the London School of Economics Trade Policy Unit is required, for example, on the extension of the UK membership of the World Trade Organisation to include Jersey. £100,000 will buy on average 2 to 3 specialist reports per annum and recurring funding is required from 2014.

CSR: Fund permanent members of the CSR delivery team £150,000 from 2014

This team previously undertook the role of CSR Delivery Team but has now become the PSR Programme Office. The budget for the two members of staff was funded from the Restructuring Provision during the CSR process (2011 13) but now requires permanent funding of £150,000 from 2014 to support the Public Sector Reform programme. It is anticipated that this may need to be supplemented with additional temporary resource as required.

Service Transfers

Transfer of Rent and Service Charges £21,100 to Housing Department

As part of the Housing Transformation Programme it was agreed that rental and service charges budgets would be transferred from CMD to Housing.

Safeguarding Partnership Board £274,700 from Health and Social Services

The Council of Ministers agreed the allocation of sufficient budget to establish a Vulnerable Adults Policy Group and Jersey Vulnerable Adults Protection Committee. In addition, and by association, it was proposed that responsibilities for leading the Children s Policy Group and the Children s Protection Committee also transfer to the Chief Minister s Department from H&SS.

Transfer of grant for Bureau de Jersey £75,000 from Economic Development

In order to rationalise the management of overseas outposts and to better reflect the Chief Minister s legal responsibility, as well as the role played by the External Relations team in regional relations, EDD and CMD decided to transfer responsibility for the management of Bureau de Jersey.

Disbanding of the Customer Services Centre £224,400 to Treasury and Resources, Housing and Transport and Technical Services

Following a review of accommodation in the States and the effectiveness of the Cyril Le Marquand Customer Services Centre, it was identified that efficiencies could be achieved by closing the Customer Services Centre and budgets and resources were transferred back to the relevant departments.

Transfer of Financial Services £1,016,500 from Economic Development

Following the recommendations from the McKinsey Report and discussions with the Economic Development Minister and Treasury & Resources Minister, it was agreed that overall accountability and responsibility for financial services should reside with the Chief Minister.

Corporate Health and Safety Manager £63,000 to Transport and Technical Services

It was agreed that CMD would provide support to TTS in creating a Corporate Health and Safety function across the States and that the Chief Officer of TTS would be responsible for Corporate Health and Safety.

Strategic Housing Unit £186,800 from Housing Department

The Affordable Housing Gateway was set up using resources within the Housing Department, and following the approval by the States, the responsibility of the Gateway moved to the Chief Minster s Department, along with the team of officers.

Geospatial Information System net income of £16,500 to Department of the Environment

In 2014 and 2015 the Geospatial Information System (GIS) will be transferred from the Department of the Environment (DoE) to the Chief Minister s Department (CMD) and a net revenue recurring budget of £16,500 will transfer from CMD to the DoE. The use of geospatial information (GI) is increasing rapidly. There is a growing recognition amongst both governments and the private sector that an understanding of location and place is a vital component of effective decision-making.

The States GIS Service is a pre-requisite to improving States services provided to the citizens of Jersey. There is an investment cost to the organisation, both setting up the service, and on-going developments of the infrastructure and new applications. Since geospatial information is becoming embedded in any government information, the costs of running the GIS service should be seen as a necessary overhead, upon which further, more value-added services can be built.

Transfer of Additional Resource £93,400 from Treasury & Resources

Freedom of Information (FOI) comes into effect from January 2015, under the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 adopted by the States of Jersey. In order to further strengthen the FOI team it was agreed that T&R would provide an additional resource to CMD.

Economic Development

Minister's Introduction

The Medium Term Financial Plan (MTFP) came at a critical point in the development and evolution of our economy.

The effects of the worldwide economic crisis have lasted longer than most predicted and Jersey, as an international finance centre, has not been immune to its effects. Strenuous efforts have been made to tackle unemployment which having reached record levels are now falling to levels last recorded over three years ago. As getting people back into work was one of the key priorities identified in the States Strategic Plan, the combined efforts of many Government Departments can be seen to be having a positive effect for those Islanders affected.

We must however not be complacent. At a time when significant challenges still remain, we must continue to facilitate the creation of more jobs in our economy and take a strategic view as to what kind of jobs we wish those to be. In taking this view, it is clear that if we are to seek to generate new employment, we must do so with the aim that these jobs will contribute to the delivery of economic growth growth specifically designed to deliver the tax receipts necessary to avoid having to raise taxes, whilst still being able to fund quality public services to the standard that we expect.

The Economic Growth and Diversification Strategy (EGDS) (P55/2012), set out how we intend

to achieve this. With four priorities: to encourage innovation and improve Jersey s international competitiveness; to grow and diversify the financial services sector, capacity and profitability; to create new businesses and employment in high value sectors; and to raise the productivity of the whole economy and reduce the reliance on inward migration.

Without access to the growth bids put forward in the MTFP, this Strategy simply could not be delivered. A thorough assessment of our current and future work programme illustrated that to deliver growth we would have to reduce support for tourism and agriculture to unsustainable levels in order to invest in new higher-value sectors. This would have a highly damaging impact to these traditional sectors which are the source of great pride in the island and help shape its identity as well as supporting significant numbers of people who work within them.

This is not acceptable and therefore the growth in the Department s budget to continue to invest in economic growth is absolutely vital. Whilst recognising the financial constraints we must operate under, now more than ever we need to continue investing in developing the economy.

Summary of Outline Business Cases for Growth

The following table sets out our MTFP bids, all of which are directly aligned to the priorities in the EGDS, which are in turn aimed at achieving sustainable economic growth and getting people into work.

2013 2014 2015 £000 £000 £000

Support for Jersey Finance Limited (JFL) and increased investment in developing finance legislation is vital if we are to enter new markets and develop new products so that we can grow and diversify our finance sector, which is and will remain absolutely critical to delivering future growth. As the industry which contributes 40% of our GVA, we cannot afford to neglect the sector which in turn funds such a substantial proportion of our public services.

Digital Jersey is one of the key components of our strategy to create new businesses in high value sectors. The e-commerce sector is set to have increasing significance on our economy and it is vital we can invest in and encourage its growth. Alongside this, strengthening our inward investment activities across all high value sectors is an essential driver in delivering diversification and creating jobs for local people.

We must accept however, that in seeking diversification into new and growing high value sectors, Jersey cannot operate in a vacuum. We need the external talent and investment as the catalyst for the creation of new jobs. As demonstrated by the successes over recent years, inward investment does create significant employment for local people but to do this there needs to be a limited element of inward migration. This is good for our economy and good for Jersey.

Therefore, running in parallel to investment in growth, given the well-founded concerns of managing population growth on an island of limited resources, we must reduce our reliance on inward migration in other sectors. We should use the interim migration policy to encourage job creation and economic growth rather than to fill jobs which could be filled with local people. That is why we are aligning our future support for traditional sectors such as tourism, construction and agriculture with reduced reliance on inward migration. Investment in skills is critical to fill that gap, as well as develop a workforce that can capitalise on the new and exciting opportunities inward investors provide.

Across the whole range of new and established businesses, Jersey Business will be available to help organisations achieve their full potential. As an independent, grant-funded organisation, there is an opportunity to continue its step-change in business support provision, which additional funding will enable them to deliver to an increased number of companies as the Jersey economy continues  

to recover.

2015 will see significant changes to how destination marketing services will be delivered for the Island, with plans in place for the transfer to Visit Jersey , an independent, grant funded organisation sitting outside Government. In order to give confidence to the sector during this period of change, additional support, through a secure funding mechanism the Tourism Development Fund will help Jersey to compete in the global marketplace.

Each initiative is being progressed as far as possible in order to impact on job creation without delay once recurring funding is agreed. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff at Economic Development for the work they have done to date as well as the significant continued work that this plan for growth and jobs requires over the MTFP period.

2015 Budget Measures

A 2% reduction to the EDD staff and non-staff budget will be mainly met in 2015 by a reduction in the non-staff budgets for Intellectual Property together with a reduction of grant funding for Jersey Finance Limited, Skills and Single Area Payments.

Service Transfers

Transfer of Rent and Service Charges £35,700 to Housing Department

As part of the Housing Transformation Programme it was agreed that rental and service charges budgets would be transferred from EDD to Housing.

Transfer of grant for Bureau de Jersey £75,000 to Chief Minister s Department

EDD and CMD decided to transfer responsibility for the management of the Bureau de Jersey in order to rationalise the management of overseas outposts and to better reflect the Chief Minister s legal responsibility, as well as the role played by the External Relations team in regional relations,

Transfer of Financial Services £1,016,500 to Chief Minister s Department

Following the recommendations of the McKinsey Report and discussions between the Economic Development Minister and Treasury & Resources Minister, it was agreed that overall accountability and responsibility for financial services should reside with the Chief Minister.

Education, Sport and Culture

Minister's Introduction

Positive progress has been made across all sections of the department since the start of this MTFP but particularly in education and sport, where teams have been working towards two major events; a new curriculum and the 2015 NatWest Island Games.

In our schools the focus remains on improving standards. Our shared aspiration is for the highest quality of educational and wider opportunities for all of Jersey s children and young people. To achieve this, teachers and education advisers have been responding to rapid changes in the UK and planning for the introduction of a new curriculum and new GCSE and A-level exams.

As it has done previously, Jersey will take an adopt and adapt approach to the changes. This means our schools will follow the new curriculum from September 2014, taking the essential elements but adapting certain aspects to reflect the Island s unique culture and history. This ensures our students are not disadvantaged compared to their UK counterparts when they take the first of the new exams in 2017 and then look towards university or employment.

Alongside this, the next steps have been taken to meet the demographic changes in our schools. Capital expenditure of £8.8 million was previously approved for a building programme and this will provide the additional primary school places the community will need from 2016. The projects are under way and contractors have started on some of the sites.

Overall, the education sector is in a period of change and a great deal of this is due to factors outside our control.

As a result of recent high unemployment, a new Skills Strategy has been created that works towards a medium to long-term plan for preparing our future workforce. Education initiatives are a major part of this. Some are already in place. ESC s IT strategy Thinking Differently has put creative computing skills high on the agenda and has been prepared and delivered with input from the business community. The Trackers apprentice programme, launched at the end of 2012, continues to perform beyond expectations and is receiving positive feedback from employees and employers who take part. Further expansion is now taking place to meet demand. Also, the Prince s Trust is providing targeted support specifically to vulnerable young people to help them find work.

This is delivered in partnership with the Jersey Youth Service whose team have played a vital part in supporting our teenage community through difficult times recently. This was over and above their usual work and is ongoing. Their service is highly valued across the community and has a strong future. The completion of the St James Centre project, redevelopment of the Crabbe outdoor activity base and

the opening of the Move On CafØ in town, will all improve still further their ability to meet their strategic aims.

The Fit for the Future strategy has stimulated a surge of interest in sport and enabled us to encourage participation at an early age. It has launched a range of initiatives that include a focus on primary age swimming, childhood obesity and support for local sports clubs. The strategy also unlocked funding

to support the countdown to the 2015 NatWest Island Games. As a result there is a drive to prepare and improve a range of facilities in time for the event and to engage a wide range of Islanders in what should be a memorable national event for us. It will be an important showcase for the Island with the potential to highlight the best of Jersey, not just to visitors but to the Island community as well.

2015 Budget Measures

The proposed measures to balance the consolidated fund in 2015 2% cuts would put significant pressure on our budget and is likely to have a direct impact on our ability to maintain frontline services. This is a particular concern in relation to standards, demographic pressures and the plans for Trackers, however we will continue to work on the effective delivery of these services within the constraints of the budget cut.

Department of the Environment

Minister's Introduction

A high quality environment is at the heart of all of our lives. A good environment is one of the key ingredients to Jersey and why we all love to live, work and play here. A healthy environment underpins a strong economy, a happier and healthier lifestyle and a more diverse and robust ecosystem.

As the Minister for Planning and the Environment, I will ensure that the environment is not forgotten. Jersey has already signalled its commitment to a number of International Environmental commitments. These, and the environment they seek to enhance, must not be taken for granted and must be at the forefront of our decision-making along with social and economic issues.

On a small Island, the issues of good spatial planning and meeting development needs whilst protecting eco-system services and the natural and historic environment will always be a challenge.

To maintain economic diversity, there is a desire to sustainably expand economic growth in sectors dependent on the environment such as fisheries and farming, so that natural resources are protected for future generations as well as maintaining a vibrant town centre and Parish communities.

It is likely that energy prices will continue to rise in the future. The need to develop more secure and sustainable energy supplies is a challenge which might be partially met by natural, renewable energy resources in the medium to long term when technology and economic feasibility is proven. The role of government to develop these resources or to facilitate private development needs to be considered.

The regulation of clean air and water, waste management, natural habitats and special places and buildings is a challenge against a requirement for increased housing and economic growth. Overall economic, social and environmental decision-making needs to be co-ordinated to mitigate the impacts of climate change.

The provision of housing is a key challenge for the Island in the face of increased demand. Housing in Jersey is an expensive commodity and there is a need to ensure that a greater proportion of new homes in the Island are more affordable.

Our key challenge is managing the requirements of an increasing population against their resource requirements, whilst maintaining key ecosystem services and the need to recognize and manage the social, economic and environmental interactions. All of this has to be achieved with limited resources during a time when the island is experiencing significant social and economic challenges.

Summary of Outline Business Cases for Growth

The following summary presents the five priority Outline Business Cases (OBCs), along with their associated cost projections:

Alternative Funding Measures

During the MTFP debate the Council of Ministers agreed to a number of compromises to amendments to the MTFP proposals brought forward by States members.

In response to a proposal to increase States total expenditure limits to provide three schemes for the Environment department that had not been prioritised for growth funding (Countryside infrastructure, Masterplanning and Strengthening the protection and regulation of the Island s environment), the Council of Ministers proposed alternative funding measures including use of the Central Planning Vote, allocations for back to work and employment initiatives and the opportunity to carry forward 2012 underspends. (More information on these and other MTFP compromises is contained in R114/2013).

Get People into Work

Succession planning £36,000 to £100,000

The age profile of DoE staff is such that succession planning needs to be addressed. It would also support job opportunities for the younger generation and the strategy to provide more on-the-job

training for school leavers. The proposal would be to recruit two trainees (school leavers / graduates) in each of Planning and Countryside Rural. This could be funded through the Back to Work funding carry forward within Social Security.

Sustainable Long Term Planning

Strengthening the protection of the Island s environment £200,000

The existing financial and manpower resource of Environmental Protection is increasingly stretched to effectively meet the demands of regulating and enforcing compliance with the Island s environmental legislation which is under Environmental Protection s remit. These laws provide fundamental tools

to protect the Island s environment against increasing environmental, developmental and social pressures. The Environment Scrutiny Panel recognised the resource constraints within Environmental Protection during their recent Review of Marine Waters. The Panel further endorsed Environmental Protection s strategy and the importance to the Island of securing environmental goals through the implementation of widely recognised and proven EU Directives (Water Framework Directive, Marine Strategy Directive, Bathing Water Directive). These provide a vital and holistic (cross-departmental) framework and approach that will deliver recognised environmental protection goals in line with EU best practise and will safeguard the future of the Island s environment. Environmental Protection have initially assessed the resource implications and require two additional staff to ensure compliance.

Masterplanning £100,000

There is an increasing political pressure to undertake masterplanning. This could cost upwards of £100,000 per year and require additional staff.

Countryside infrastructure £50,000

Current resources are insufficient to adequately maintain the national park and environmental car parks. There is a need for an additional staff member and maintenance budget to further improve the environment in which we live. There is also a need to invest in additional infrastructure, e.g. footpaths. This would enable an improvement network for walking encouraging people to live a healthier lifestyle.

Service Transfers

Geospatial Information System (GIS) £16,500 from Chief Minister s Department

In 2014 and 2015 the Geospatial Information System (GIS) will be transferred from the Department of the Environment (DoE) to the Chief Minister s Department (CMD) and a net revenue recurring budget of £16,500 will transfer from CMD to the DoE. The use of geospatial information (GI) is increasing rapidly. There is a growing recognition amongst both governments and the private sector that an understanding of location and place is a vital component of effective decision-making.

2015 Budget Measures

As part of the debate around the 2015 Budget, it was identified that additional savings totaling £12.1 million would be required to be made by all Departments in 2015. The DoE share of this is £204,800 and work has started to identify where these savings can be made. Until this work is substantially complete it is unknown how this will impact on the delivery of our existing services, or whether any additional user pays charges might need to be considered.

Health and Social Services Department

Minister's Introduction

2014 has been a year in which the Health and Social Services Department has continued to drive forward the change programme set out in P82/2012 Health and Social Services: A new way forward. In addition to introducing the new and enhanced services, progressing the Future Hospital planning, the sustainable Primary Care review and the Mental Health review the Department has continued to refine plans for inclusion in the next Medium Term Financial Plan. All this has been done while the Department has continued to deliver business as usual within the MTFP spending limits.

Developments and Achievements in 2014

2014 saw significant progress on the introduction of new and enhanced services, as outlined in P82/2012. The aim is to increase independence for Islanders, enabling them to remain at home for as long as possible, to offer choice and to identify needs and provide integrated services early. The key focus for 2015 is to move to a more integrated whole system approach through the development of the Out Of Hospital System which will aim to keep people out of hospital; both avoiding admission and facilitating discharge.

Progress has been made to develop an Acute Services Strategy. Work on the future hospital has moved to the feasibility stage with detailed work ongoing on options and plans for both the buildings and the services. The States of Jersey last year approved in principle the allocation of £297m allocated from the Strategic Reserve for this ambitious project, the largest ever embarked upon by the States of Jersey.

The Sustainable Primary Care project made good progress during 2014, with GPs, Pharmacists, Opticians and Dentists working with the department, and with Treasury and Social Security, to develop options for the Primary Care model of the future. This has been mirrored in the Mental Health System review work; these projects are due to report in 2015 and will be followed by public consultations.

Cross departmental working has been key in the introduction of the Long Term Care Benefit which commenced in July 2014. Joint working with organisations across health and social care, including the Community and Voluntary sector and Primary Care, has been further progressed, with partners working together, including Mind Jersey, Jersey Hospice Care, Family Nursing & Home Care and Citizen s Advice Bureau. This collaborative working across the entire health community is, and will continue to be, critical to the successful delivery of the vision set out in P82/2012.

Changes to original MTFP budget for 2015

Service transfers: in 2013 there was a transfer of budget from the previous Jersey Child Protection Committee to the Chief Minister s Department to fund the new Safeguarding Partnership Board for children and adults. In addition there were other smaller transfers between the department and other departments for other changes in scope of services.

£8,020,000 pay awards: the department s budget has increased by the pay awards agreed for nurses, doctors and other pay groups for 2013 and 2014. The pay awards for 2015 have not yet been agreed and therefore have not been included at this stage in the department s budget.

£750,000 Procurement savings: this represents the department s share of the remaining procurements savings identified in the MTFP.

£4,702,000 2% savings: as set out in the Budget 2015, all departments have agreed to identify savings of 2% of gross expenditure budgets as part of the measures to bring the Consolidated Fund into balance.

Health and Social Services is working hard to identify sustainable solutions for delivering this savings target. Detailed proposals have not yet been identified but it is likely that some of the following impacts will be felt:

  Re-phasing of the planned implementation of P82/2012

  Delays in other planned developments

  Reduction in provision of existing services

  Risk of HSS no longer being able to follow UK standards for technologies, treatments and drugs

  Potential increase in waiting times / reduction in patient satisfaction

The Department is planning to set up a programme board to oversee a systematic review of services in order to identify opportunities for efficiencies and productivity gains across the service.

In all this I am confident that Health and Social Services will continue to prioritise resources in order to deliver our overriding objective of safe, sustainable and affordable care.

Departmental Objectives for 2015

Our high level business objectives remain unchanged; some of our success criteria have been updated to reflect the ongoing development of our work.

During 2015 the key areas of focus for P82 will be the development of the Out Of Hospital system , which will aim to keep people out of hospital; both avoiding admission and facilitating discharge. This will be delivered through integrated services across all care providers.

Both the Mental Health systems review and the Sustainable Primary Care project will report in 2015. The resulting strategies and proposals will then be consulted on before final decisions and plans are made.

The priority investments for 2016 2019 will be developed into outline plans, ready to commence implementation in early 2016, subject to budget allocations.

With agreed additional funding we have been able to continue our focus on continuous improvement using the Jersey Lean System. This is led by a specialist team, who support individuals and teams across health and social care.

Work is ongoing to develop the Outline Business Case for the Future Hospital. A proposition and report on the future hospital will be presented to the States in 2015.

I would like to thank all the staff for their continued hard work and commitment in what has been a very busy and demanding year. 2015 undoubtedly will be the same and I am confident the staff will rise to the challenges it will bring.

Home Affairs Department

Minister's Introduction

My introduction included in the Annex to the 2013 2015 Medium Term Financial Plan set out the Department s key role in ensuring the overall safety of the Island community and core function of helping to ensure the safety of our community.

The key objectives and success criteria have been updated to reflect their alignment to the Strategic Plan and relevance to 2015. A new success criteria has been added to promote the Lean initiative to support public sector reform.

With regard to anticipated changes in 2015, there will be a new Ministerial Team for Home Affairs following the elections in October 2014. It will fall to that Ministerial Team to set the work flow priorities; however, the Department is aware already of important tasks that need addressing.

The States have approved legislation recently which will need to be implemented in 2015, most notably the new Young Offenders Law and the Explosives Law. The Fireworks Regulations and the Regulations and Orders under the States of Jersey Police Force Law 2012 will also need to be brought forward at an early stage.

In terms of policy, there is important multi-agency work required to develop a new community safety strategy to replace the Building a Safer Society Strategy. There are important challenges to address such as cyber-crime, new psychoactive substances and the rise in domestic violence offences. A new Criminal Justice Policy is required which will entail significant cross-agency liaison.

Approved Variations to Expenditure Limits since the MTFP

Variations approved in the 2014 Annex Service Transfers

Cadet and Military Support Officer £8,000 to Office of the Lieutenant Governor

The transfer of funds for the Cadet and Military Support Officer is the Department s contribution to the new post created within the Lieutenant Governor s Office to co-ordinate forces cadet work and ceremonial functions that have a military element.

Central Growth Allocations

Maritime Response Team (MRT) £25,000

The funding for a UK Maritime off-shore ship fire-fighting capability has not been re-instated by either the UK Department for Transport or the Department of Communities and Local Government. There remains no UK provision to assist with emergency fire-fighting, industrial accidents or chemical incidents at sea. Many UK Fire and Rescue Services and their Authorities with notable maritime risk have taken the decision to fund the shortfall in order to maintain such a capability in and around their coastal waters. Furthermore, Guernsey has withdrawn from the previous jointly provided Maritime Incident Response Group arrangements.

However, the States of Jersey Fire and Rescue Service (JFRS) has developed and implemented a new local Marine Response Strategy (MRS), supported by capability, tactics and operations at a reduced cost. These have been incorporated into the Jersey Coastguard and Condor Marine Services Emergency Response Plan.

Funding is required in order that the JFRS can fulfil the new MRS. This will also enable the JFRS to access mutual assistance from those Services that have a maritime response capability, if required.

Increased Running Costs of New Prison Facilities £25,000

The Prison was designed in the late 1960s and was opened in 1974. A programmed redevelopment (Masterplan) commenced in 2003 to address some of the Prison estate s shortcomings which were reinforced in previous inspections. The first five phases of the Masterplan have been delivered or are currently on site.

New facilities consisting of a visit room and staff facility (phase four), stores and engineers facility (phase five) and a new classroom, boiler house and greenhouse constructed in the horticultural area of the Prison have increased the running costs of the Prison which cannot be accommodated within the Home Affairs Department s net revenue expenditure.

Pay Awards

Recurring cost of the 2013 1% Consolidated Pay Award £345,000 Recurring cost of the 2013 Firefighters Pay Award £83,300 Recurring cost of the 2014 4% Consolidated Pay Award £1,397,100

2015 Variations

Service Transfers

Independent Domestic Violence Advisors £50,000 from the Health and Social Services Department

Transfer of funding to the States of Jersey Police following a commitment made by the Childrens Policy Group to establish a Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conference (MARAC) in Jersey.

Procurement Savings

The Department s contribution of £120,400 to the balance of notional procurement savings required to meet the Corporate Procurement target of £6.5 million savings as part of the CSR process.

2015 Budget Measures

Following approval of the 2015 Budget there is a requirement for all Departments to deliver 2% savings in 2015 as part of the measures required to balance the Consolidated Fund. The impact on the Home Affairs Department is £1,033,200. Whilst I am supportive of this proposal it is important to note, however, that with staff costs accounting for over 84% of the net budget it will take time to identify and deliver savings.

As it is likely that Departments will be required to make savings from 2016 as part of the next MTFP process, officers are therefore reviewing statutory obligations and considering sustainable options for recurring savings of 2% to be delivered in 2015 and future years.

All increases to the expenditure limits agreed in the MTFP are not new projects or initiatives but are necessary if the Department is to continue to deliver its core functions. The challenge, as ever, will be seeking ways of reducing cost where 84% of the budget relates to staff costs.

Minister's Introduction

The Department s overall aims over the period of the MTFP can be summarized as:

  getting people back to work by assisting people in gaining employment in order to support

themselves and their families;

  keeping people in work by maintaining legislation that supports a safe and fair working environment

and providing contributory benefits that support people during breaks from the workplace;

  protecting Islanders from the impacts of low income by providing an Income Support Scheme and

other tax funded-benefits;

  assisting older Islanders to maintain their standard of living by means that are financially sustainable

for future generations;

  maintaining and building upon current service standards, improving ease of use, efficiency and

effectiveness; and

  supporting the plans of other departments, including the reform of Health and Social Services, the

Housing Transformation Programme and the management of population growth and migration.

Summary of Outline Business Cases for Growth

This summary presents the Business Cases along with their associated cost projections:   Back to Work Projects

  Employment Schemes & Incentives

  Discrimination Legislation

  Private Sector Rental Support

Summary of Growth requests 2013–2015

Back to Work Projects £2.16m by 2015; and Employment Schemes and Incentives £4.66m by 2015

Current economic conditions are starting to show signs of improvement and unemployment figures have started to flatten out. However, these still remain at historically high levels and the Strategic Plan s most urgent priority remains to Get People into Work . Government has implemented a Back to Work programme which has already proved to be successful and unemployment did not reach the levels previously expected.

This has been achieved through investment in a broad range of support schemes to help locally qualified unemployed people improve their employability and find employment in order to support themselves and their families.

This activity has included further investment in existing schemes to support the increasing levels of those unemployed:

  Workzone

  Advance to Work   Advance Plus

  WorkWise

We have also created a central Back To Work Employer Engagement team to maximise opportunities with employers for the recruitment of locally qualified unemployed people. This team works across all support schemes and initiatives.

Additionally we have invested in schemes to improve the employability of those groups furthest away from unemployment (e.g. Long Term unemployed) and to encourage employers to take on those who are locally unemployed and reduce reliance on migrant labour (Job Substitution). Investment has been made in the following initiatives:

  Employment Grant incentive for employers to recruit the long term unemployed;   Youth Incentive grants for employers to recruit those under 25;

  Long Term Unemployed Unit focused support to improve employability of the long term

unemployed;

  Sector Specific Training Initiatives extensive programme of training developed with specific

industries to place higher numbers of unemployed locals into work (e.g. Hospitality and Construction);

  Job Training Fund fund to source short term interventions to improve employability;

  Work Readiness Fund fund to provide training in areas such as motivation, C.V. writing, confidence

building, numeracy and literacy;

  Job Clubs supported group sessions to improve employment search;

  Employment Projects activities to improve employability for those with significant barriers that limit

commercial work placements opportunities (e.g. Environment projects); and

  Community Jobs Fund a subsidy scheme to place specific unemployed groups into positions with

employers aimed at those furthest from employment. Positions also create additional community benefit.

Discrimination Legislation £200k by 2015

In 2011, the States took the decision (P.118/2011) to transfer responsibility for the development of discrimination legislation to the Minister for Social Security and to provide funding for the implementation and operation of this new law.

Development of the law is on track. The Discrimination (Jersey) Law 2013 was registered by the Royal Court on 18 October 2013. Subordinate legislation has now all been approved and the law will be operational in relation to the first protected characteristic of Race from 1 September 2014. Consultation for the next phase (sex discrimination) is complete and regulations will be debated in 2015. The growth bid for 2014 provided for part year administration costs and the full cost of administration is provided for in 2015, including the cost of the Tribunal service and advice and conciliation services provided by the Jersey Advisory and Conciliation Service and the Citizens Advice Bureau.

Private Sector Rental Support £1m by 2015

From April 2014, the Housing Transformation Programme has started to increase rent levels in States- owned housing accommodation to 90% of the market value as new tenancies are created. Income support rates for these tenants are automatically adjusted in line with the new rental values.

In parallel with the public sector changes, private sector rental components were also adjusted in April 2014. The additional costs associated with these adjustments are estimated at £1 million in 2015, with the 2014 bid at the lower level of £750,000 to cover the new system from April to December.

The Corporate Services Scrutiny Panel proposed an amendment to the MTFP to create a central growth allocation for 2014 and 2015 by removing growth that had been allocated directly to departments in the original proposals from the Council of Ministers. The impact was to remove a sum of £750,000 in 2014 and £1,000,000 in 2015 from Social Security originally earmarked for Private Sector Rental Support and place it into a central growth allocation. Following States approval in the 2014 Budget, both sums have been re-allocated back to the Department in their respective years.

Summary of Business Cases for Base Estimate Changes

This summary presents the justification along with their associated cost projections:   Employment Tribunal

  Staff Costs Impact of FSR Implementation

Employment Tribunal £50k by 2015

This line item continues the provision of administrative support to the Employment Tribunals.

Staff Costs Impact of FSR Implementation £230k by 2015

This line item details an adjustment needed to previous base budgets following the staffing changes that were agreed as part of the Fiscal Strategy Review.

Summary of Business Cases for Other Growth/Base Budget Changes

This summary presents the justification along with their associated cost projections:

Income Support Staff Costs £460k by 2015

There is a forecasted annual increase in the Income Support weekly Benefit (AME) expenditure

for the duration of this MTFP from £74M in 2012 to £82M in 2013; £84M in 2014; and £86M in 2015. These increases to expenditure reflect the forecasted increase in the number and value of claims above current levels in addition to an annual allowance for inflation. However, the MTFP included a requirement for the Department to make £3M of savings in 2014; therefore the forecasted increases reduce to £81M in 2014 and £83M in 2015.

The current economic conditions have and will continue to increase the number of new claims and the volume of changes to claims. Additional staff have been required to maintain service levels against this increased level of activity.

Financial Implications to Social Security of Housing Incorporation

There are a number of financial impacts resulting from the Housing Transformation Programme. Income Support Costs

The financial impact of the return to near market rent levels in the Social Sector is now significantly reduced from that previously detailed in the MTFP as the implementation will be phased over many years as new tenancies are created.

The additional Income Support costs arising from the return to near market rent levels will be met as follows:

  In the States sector, the additional cost estimated to be £300,000 in 2014, £700,000 in 2015 and

potentially increasing to £2m by 2043 will be met from the Social Security budget for Income Support. The increases in Income Support in 2014 and 2015 will be topped up from Central Contingencies, if the current MTFP funding levels prove to be inadequate.

  In the Housing Trust sector, there is estimated to be a small additional cost of Income Support in 2014

and 2015, increasing to £1m by 2043. The increases in Income Support in 2014 and 2015 will be topped up from Central Contingencies, if the current MTFP funding levels prove to be inadequate.

  In the Private sector the revised rates of Income Support have been implemented with effect from

April 2014. This additional cost has been provided as a growth bid in the current MTFP of £750,000 in 2014 and £1 million in 2015 which is proposed to be allocated to Social Security Income Support as part of the 2015 Budget allocation of Central Growth.

Proposals to agree the required changes to the MTFP 2013 2015

The changes required to the MTFP to reflect the financial impact as a result of the Housing Transformation Programme will be lodged by the Council of Ministers under Article 9(1) of the Public Finances (Jersey) Law 2005, as prescribed by Article 10 of the Social Housing (Transfer) Law 2013.

In summary the proposals will be:

  to increase States total net revenue expenditure in 2014 and 2015 to reflect the transfer of the

contribution from Housing Department net revenue expenditure budget;

  to increase States Income targets to reflect the new annual return from the new incorporated Housing

Association in 2014 and 2015;

  to consider whether the States total net expenditure limit and the Social Security net revenue head of

expenditure need to be increased to reflect the increase in income support estimated in the States sector and Housing Trust sector in 2014 and 2015; and

  the increases of £750,000 in 2014 and £1m in 2015 to Social Security from the Central Growth

Allocation were agreed in the 2014 Budget.

Long Term Care Scheme

Until the LTC contribution rate is set at 1% in 2016, the supplementary report for the LTC States contribution regulations P.140/2013 sets out the additional payments into the LTC Fund needed to ensure that the LTC scheme can operate.

It is estimated that a 1% rate starting in 2014 would yield £33.2 million up to the end of 2015. With LTC contributions starting at 0.5% in 2015, this equates to a loss of income into the LTC Fund over the first two years of £24.7 million.

Due to the level of provision for the costs of the recession within tax-funded benefit budgets and actual costs being lower than originally anticipated, the Medium Term Financial Plan includes funding for the Social Security Department in 2013, 2014 and 2015, which is unlikely to be spent fully.

There is currently a proposal for an element of the forecast underspends in Social Security budgets to be transferred to supplement the contributions to the Long Term Care Fund in 2014 and 2015. These proposals are intended to ensure there is sufficient funding for the Long Term Care scheme from July 2014, ahead of the introduction of the new Long Term Care contributions starting at 0.5% in 2015. Consideration will be given to deferring the transfer of this funding in 2014 providing sufficient funds exist in the Long Term Care Fund to manage expected commitments in 2014 and 2015.

Service Transfers

In 2015, the Department will be making Service Transfers totalling £672,300.

These include £622,300 to Housing as a result of lower than forecast increases proposed for Income Support and Housing rents from October 2013.

There will also be £50,000 transferred to the Judicial Greffe as continued support for the Employment Tribunal administrative costs.

Transport and Technical Services

Minister's Introduction

The main areas of operation for Transport and Technical services are:   Operational Services

Waste

Municipal

  Engineering and Highways

  Transport

The key projects and issues for the Department in 2015 are as follows:

Following the adoption by the States of P39/2014 Waste Water Strategy on 3 June 2014, the department has been preparing pre-qualification questionnaire and tender documents for the redevelopment of the Sewage Treatment Works at Bellozanne. During 2015 the department will work with the preferred contractor to finalise the design prior to award of the main contract in early 2016. Early contractor involvement seeks to ensure that the plans developed prior to award of contract are sufficiently progressed to minimise the risk of cost escalation during the course of the project.

In parallel with the design work being undertaken in 2015, enabling works on the Bellozanne site

to ensure that space is released to permit construction of phase I of the main works will progress. Replacement of the existing Clinical Waste Incinerator with a new plant co-located at the Energy from Waste facility at La Collette, together with a new purpose built household recycling centre near the organic waste recycling facility will enable phase I to commence.

The Capital Allocation of £25,494,000 in 2015 is the first major tranche of funding required for the replacement of the Sewage Treatment works which, together with a further £38,152,000 planned for 2016 allocation, will see the commencement of a major civil engineering project to be undertaken whilst minimising the impact on the existing works.

The Infrastructure Capital Allocation of £11 million in 2015 will enable the department to continue its programme of maintenance and upgrade of the highways, drainage network, sea defences and associated infrastructure.

The completion of the North of St Helier Flood Alleviation Scheme (Philips Street Shaft) will mean

that the risk of flooding in Minden Place, Bath Street, Beresford Street and surrounding areas will be minimised. Provision has been made to enable further surface water separation schemes in that area of town to be connected to the scheme as funding permits.

Commencement of the first Village Enhancement Scheme at St Aubin in 2014 heralded the start of the programme of schemes that will see other villages receiving traffic calming and street treatments to enhance the lives of people living, working and visiting the areas, whilst also providing valuable employment opportunities for locals.

Significant changes have occurred to the Island s bus service since LibertyBus took over at the beginning of 2013. The Department will continue to work with the new company to further improve the service and increase patronage.

Service Transfers

Disbanding of the Customer Services Centre £53,800 from Chief Minister s Department

Following the decision to disband the Customer Services Centre at Cyril Le Marquand House, the funds allocated by the TTS Department to the project in 2009 have been returned to TTS from the Chief Minister s Department.

Corporate Health and Safety Manager £63,000 from Chief Minister s Department

In the 2013 MTFP, additional growth was allocated to the Chief Minister s Department to fund the provision of a corporate Health and Safety service. The budget for the Health and Safety Manager has been transferred to the TTS Department following the decision to nominate the Chief Executive of TTS as Corporate Lead on Health and Safety.

Funding Pressures

Included within the cash limit allocation for 2015 is the sum of £1.5 million income in respect of receipt and treatment of municipal waste from Guernsey. This was included in the MTFP in early 2012 as a net reduction in the 2015 TTS departmental budget. Guernsey has indicated that they will be unable to commence any waste export operations until 2016 at the earliest and the States Assemblies of both Islands would need to support such a proposal. In addition, agreement of the Waste Regulators in both Islands and the UK would need to be sought. As such, the Treasury and Resources department has given assurance that resources will be found to offset this shortfall in TTS departmental income in 2015.

2015 Budget Measures

As part of the debate around the 2015 Budget, it was identified that additional savings totaling £12.1 million would be required to be made by all Departments in 2015. The TTS share of this is £817,500 and work has started to identify where these savings can be made. Until this work is substantially complete it is unknown how this will impact on the delivery of our existing services, or whether any additional user pays charges might need to be considered.

Treasury and Resources

Minister's Introduction

The Treasury and Resources Department consists of the following sections:   Treasury functions;

  Taxes Office;

  Jersey Property Holdings;

  Corporate Procurement;

  Insurance; and

  Pensions.

The Minister also has responsibility for all contingencies in addition to his Departmental accountabilities.

The Treasury and Resources Department manages the Island s finances and assets, ensuring the protection and good use of public funds. It is responsible for all taxation, States budgets and financial policies. It also manages States property and represents the States shareholder interests in publicly owned companies.

The Department s financial plan over the three years of the MTFP is to deliver its objectives largely within its existing resources except for an additional £700,000 necessary to maintain community health and social care facilities to an acceptable standard.

This additional sum will support the States Strategic Priority Reform Health and Social Services by boosting the maintenance budget required to keep community buildings fit to deliver modern models of care, as described in the HSS White Paper Caring for each other, Caring for ourselves .

In addition to business as usual during the MTFP period, the Department will:

  effectively manage insurance risks and make use of the improved contract terms to exceed its CSR

savings target;

  provide professional procurement advice to departments to help them to secure savings and achieve

better value for money;

  manage the balance sheet as well as the budget through continued improvements in the

management of its property portfolio and returns on investments and strategic shareholdings;

  support departments in achieving their strategic aims and delivering their infrastructure projects

through funding advice;

  continue to improve financial performance reporting;

  support departments in the move to longer term financial planning and the delivery of the MTFP;

  implement the Tax Transformation Programme which includes must do projects of Long Term Care

(LTC) contributions and Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) and original components aimed at improving the efficiency of tax administration and maximising tax receipts;

  deliver a fair and affordable public sector pension scheme; and

  keep tax policy under review in order to protect and grow the Island s economy.

The sections below expand on a selection of the more substantial projects which are being undertaken by the Department during the MTFP period in support of the States strategic priorities.

2015 Budget Measures

As part of the 2015 Budget it was identified that additional savings would be required from all Departments as part of a range of measures necessary to manage the consolidated fund balance in 2015. The total value of savings allocated to the Treasury and Resources Department (including Jersey Property Holdings and the Taxes Office) amounts to £778.8k and the Department is fully committed to achieving this target.

Specifically within the Taxes Office provisional proposals are currently under consideration and work will continue over the coming months in order to implement the required measures. Emphasis is being placed on minimising the impact on revenue-generating areas.

Investments

In 2014 the States of Jersey announced a new 40-year Sterling £250 million transaction. The announcement followed the completion of an investor roadshow the previous Friday, during which the States of Jersey team met with Sterling investors in Jersey, London and Edinburgh

Investors were very impressed with the strength and stability of the Jersey credit and the prudent fiscal management by the States of Jersey. Demand for the transaction was strong and the orderbook reached just over £600 million, there was enough support through the process that allowed the transaction to be launched at Gilts +52 basis points, resulting in a coupon of 3.750%.

Treasury & Resources will be responsible for maintaining the relationship between the States of Jersey and its investors through regular updates.

Taxes

The MTFP assumes that there will be no substantial tax increases and no new taxes introduced during this period.

The Tax Policy team will focus on reviewing measures to safeguard revenues and simplify the tax regime, in line with the principles of low, broad and simple . This will include:

  continuing to monitor and enhance the robustness of the income tax system with regard to corporate

structures;

  a broad review of the taxation of property in the Island (a green paper regarding the principles

underpinning property taxation in Jersey was published in July 2014);

  reviewing how the Island could move to independent taxation for all income taxpayers; and

  working closely with External Relations to monitor and respond to emerging international tax

standards.

Details of specific measures are included in the annual Budget Statements.

The Tax Transformation Programme is the action plan arising from the independent review of revenue functions within the States undertaken by Deloitte in 2010. The review focused mainly on the structure and activities of the Taxes Office but also considered its interaction with Customs & Immigration and the Social Security Department.

Early in 2012 it was agreed that the Taxes Office would take on responsibility, acting as agents of the Social Security Department, for the collection of contributions to be paid into a ring fenced fund and used for new Long Term Care (LTC) scheme. Working with Social Security on the implementation of LTC contributions has been added as a component of TTP and as the number one priority. It was announced in 2013 that the LTC contributions will not start until January 2015 which is a delay of one year from the original plan.

During February 2014 the implementation of FATCA was also allocated to TTP as another must do project.

The Taxes Office will continue to implement its TTP during the period of this MTFP but the main focus will continue to be on LTC and FATCA. LTC contributions commence form 1st January 2015 and will become an operational responsibility during the year. FATCA involves a phased delivery over the three year period 2015 to 2017.

Property

During 2013 to 2015, Jersey Property Holdings (JPH) will focus on continuation of the rolling programme of works to address the poor state of repair of the States of Jersey estate. Additional funds of £11.25m have been allocated to JPH for backlog maintenance for this period.

The two key capital projects to be progressed in this period are the relocation of the Police into new facilities and the development of a full feasibility study for a replacement General Hospital, following the initial pre-feasibility work undertaken in 2012.

The office rationalisation programme, of which the Police relocation is the first phase, will continue through the period of the MTFP. This will free up sites for residential development and reduce the running costs of States office accommodation in the future.

JPH will be managing all other building projects which house public services on behalf of the sponsoring departments as described in the capital programme.

Procurement

Corporate Procurement will complete the roll out of its transformation programme which began in 2011 and comprised of 3 main activities:

  a programme of cross departmental procurement projects which together are targeted to deliver the

£6.5m CSR savings;

  the organisation and development of a professional procurement function that is based on category

management. This model requires that procurement professionals/category managers are embedded in the key areas of the business;

  the procurement and implementation of a modern procure-to-pay computer system which will

complement the e-tendering system currently used within the States.

Pensions

People are living longer which is increasing the cost of providing pensions. Employee and employer contributions into the public sector pension schemes have remained static for many years over which time the cost of providing the pension benefits has increased as people have been living longer.

It is necessary to ensure that pensions are affordable and sustainable for employees, employers and the taxpayer. Changes to public sector pensions are required to ensure the pension schemes are sustainable for the long term and provide benefits that are appropriate for the way people live and work today. The public sector pension scheme landscape has changed both in Jersey and the UK and changes are

being proposed that will provide sustainable public sector pension schemes for at least the next 25 years.

Public sector pension schemes in the UK have been reviewed following the publication of a report

by the Independent Public Service Pensions Commission chaired by Lord Hutton. In mid-2011, a Technical Working Group comprising of representatives from the PECRS Committee of Management and Treasury was established to develop a report on possible options for changes to PECRS to ensure its viability and sustainability for the future. In March 2013, the Technical Working Group brought forward options that aim to ensure PECRS is affordable and sustainable for the long term, have regard to the Hutton recommendations, facilitates continued membership of the Transfer Club and provides clarity over future arrangements for the sharing of risks and benefits between employer and employee.

During 2014, negotiations with the Joint Negotiating Group have progressed with a view to bringing in changes to PECRS in 2016. The final offer was sent to the Joint Negotiating Group in April 2014. The three major unions have balloted their members who have voted to accept the proposals. The enabling Law received Royal Assent in July 2014 and work has progressed on the drafting of regulations for a States debate in 2015.

Service Transfers

Transfer of Rent and Service Charges £50,000 to Housing Department

As part of the Housing Transformation Programme it was agreed that rental and service charges budgets for Jubilee Wharf would be transferred from JPH to Housing.

Disbanding of the Customer Services Centre £75,400 from Chief Minister s Department

Following a review of accommodation in the States and the effectiveness of the Cyril Le Marquand Customer Services Centre, it was identified that efficiencies could be achieved by closing the Customer Services Centre and budgets and resources were transferred back to the relevant departments.

Corporate Procurement Savings Recharge £31,700 to Housing Department

Following the successful conclusion to the main insurance programme re-tendering process during the 4th quarter 2011, recurring saving were achieved and departmental budgets realigned to ensure budgets matched expenditure. A small recharge was required between Treasury and Resources and the Housing Department for the three years of the MTFP (99 Year Leases).

Finance Resource Staff Budget £89,800 to Health and Social Services Transfer of resources in order to further strengthen the senior finance team.

Transfer of Additional Resource £93,400 to Chief Minister s Department

Freedom of Information (FOI) comes into effect from January 2015, under the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 adopted by the States of Jersey. In order to further strengthen the FOI team it was agreed that T&R would provide an additional resource to CMD.

Non-Ministerial States Funded Bodies

Non-Ministerial States Funded Bodies

NON-MINISTERIAL STATES FUNDED BODIES  PAGE 133

Non-Ministerial States Funded Bodies

The Public Finances (Jersey) Law 2005 defines the Non-Ministerial Bodies as being a States funded body for which no Minister is responsible to the States for its administration and funding. Each Non Ministerial Body has an appointed accounting officer personally responsible for the proper financial management of its resources. The application of the Public Finances Law applies in the same manner as to Ministerial Departments except in instances of disagreement with regard to a budget offered to a Non Ministerial Body by the Council of Ministers.

In such circumstances, the offered budget and the requested budget should be published in the States Medium Term Financial Plan with a disclosure from the Council stating why a variation is recommended.

No such disagreements were included in the Medium Term Financial Plan 2013 2015. The Non Ministerial Bodies were offered budgets in line with the financial framework of the Council, including inflation funding and efficiency savings. It is appreciated that all Non Ministerial Bodies have accepted these offers having recognised both the principles and budgetary constraints of the Council.

It is recognised that there are particular and individual financial pressures within each of these bodies and the Council of Ministers will consider these pressures.

The legal services budgets contain estimates for Court and Case Costs. By its nature, expenditure on Court and Case Costs is an unpredictable element in the budget. A Smoothing Reserve has been put in place to deal with the volatile nature of Court and Case Costs expenditure. This is primed with £2.8 million of carry forwards from 2011 and £0.5 million from 2012. Quarterly budget monitoring procedures have also been put in place to monitor expenditure in this area which will give early notice if there is to be a need to draw on the Smoothing Reserve.

2015 Budget Measures

As part of the 2015 Budget it was identified that additional savings would be required from all Departments as part of a range of measures necessary to manage the consolidated fund balance in 2015. The quantum of savings allocated to the Non Ministerial Departments amounts to £548K and although each of these departments are fully committed to meeting this target, it is not yet known precisely how they will make these savings. Non Ministerial Departments are small and predominantly staff-based, reducing the staff costs would have a detrimental impact on the services provided therefore they will need to look at other areas in which these savings can be made.

Service Transfers

Cadet and Military Support Officer £8,000 from Home Affairs

Transfer of the post of the Island Military Liaison Officer to a new post of Cadet and Military Support Officer at the Office of the Lieutenant Governor. The new post has additional duties including responsibility for the Island Cadet Force organisations, military visits and liaising with the Bailiff s

Chambers helping to organise States occasions which will be funded from carry forwards in 2014 and 2015. There will be a growth bid in 2016 for additional funding.

Jersey Employment Tribunal £50,000 from Social Security

The transfer of service from Social Security to Judicial Greffe originally occurred in 2011 with a recurring transfer of budget in 2012. An increase in the number of Tribunal hearing days has led to an increase in required funding from Social Security. A growth bid was made by the Social Security Department in the Medium Term Financial Plan (MTFP) to cover this increase. This growth bid was successful and the MTFP has approved the required funding for the Social Security Department for each of the years, 2013 to 2015. This is a permanent budget transfer which will automatically go into 2016 to 2018.

STATES ASSEMBLY AND ITS SERVICES  PAGE 153

States Assembly

Introduction

The budget for the States Assembly and its services is under the political control of the Privileges and Procedures Committee (PPC) and in addition to the costs of running the Assembly itself and its committees/panels also covers the cost of remuneration for States members, the operation

of the States Greffe, members facilities, inter-parliamentary bodies such as the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association and the AssemblØe Parlementaire de la Francophonie.

Under the provisions of Article 24B of the Public Finances (Jersey) Law 2005, PPC is free to propose its own cash limit without interference from the Council of Ministers or the Minister for Treasury and Resources. Once the annual estimates for the States Assembly are prepared by PPC they must nevertheless be submitted to the Comptroller and Auditor General for comment and then inserted

in the draft Medium Term Financial Plan without amendment. If the Comptroller and Auditor General makes any comments on the estimates those comments must be presented to States members alongside the Medium Term Financial Plan. The Council of Ministers has no power to alter the estimates submitted by PPC and the role that the Council normally has to prioritise expenditure across States funded bodies does not apply to the Assembly estimates. It is simply for States members to decide whether the estimates are appropriate when the Medium Term Financial Plan is debated and any member (including Ministers) can lodge amendments for debate in the usual way.

Article 24B also states that PPC must consult the Minister for Treasury and Resources before preparing the estimates on the proposed budgetary policy of the Council of Ministers for the Medium Term Financial Plan. It is therefore implicit in the law that PPC should take account of this budgetary policy when finalising its estimates even though the Committee is not, in law, formally required to follow the Council s budgetary policy.

The estimates for 2013 2015 have been prepared by PPC in accordance with the overall policy of the Council of Ministers and incorporate CSR savings of £130,000 for 2013 and further CSR procurement savings of £10,450 for 2013 bringing the combined 2011 2013 CSR savings to £414,450. The estimates for 2014 also include a transfer of £31,000 from the Chief Minister s Department to cover the cost of IT provision for States members.

2015 Budget Measures

As part of the 2015 Budget it was identified that additional savings would be required from all Departments as part of a range of measures necessary to manage the consolidated fund balance in 2015. The quantum of savings allocated to the States Assembly amounts to £98K. These savings will be taken from the States decision on 15th March 2011 (P.118/2010) to reduce total number of States Members from 51 to 49 thereby reducing States Members remuneration costs.

Central Contingency Allocations

Introduction

The Medium Term Financial Plan proposed reductions in the contingency levels for 2013 to 2015 originally provided in the 2012 Business Plan in order to fund the proposed level of growth and balance the States of Jersey budget overall. The revised position is shown below:

At the end of 2012 the Council of Ministers agreed for the level of underspend on Central Contingencies to be carried forward to 2013. The Medium Term Financial Plan earmarked £9.1 million of this funding for 2013 but prudent management of the Contingency budgets in 2012 enabled a further balance to

be carried forward. These funds were required to supplement the 2014 and 2015 base Contingency allocations.

Central Contingency (Pay Provision)

Allocations from the Central Contingency (Pay Provision) have been made to individual departments heads of expenditure for 2015 in respect of the 2013 (1% consolidated) and 2014 (4% consolidated) recurring pay awards. Allocations have also been for the additional specific awards made in respect of Nurses and Medical staff, Firefighters, and Doctors and Consultants for 2013. A sum of £1.856 million

is earmarked to be carried forward from the Central Contingency (One-off) provision in 2014 for this additional funding.

The Medium Term Financial Plan originally allocated a 2.5% pay provision to be set aside for 2015 as well as a separate allocation for a Doctors and Consultants award in 2015 which will be settled in line with UK agreements.

The 2015 Budget, approved on 24th September 2014, agreed a range of Proposed Measures to balance the consolidated fund, which included reducing the 2015 Central Pay Provision by 1%. A sum of £3.48 million has therefore been transferred to a specific area of the Central Contingency Allocations and will be used along with other contributions to manage the consolidated fund balance in 2015.

Central Restructuring Provision

The Restructuring Provision was established in 2011 to provide invest to save funding as part of the CSR process. This funding was allocated to departments to assist in the delivery of savings projects with a defined payback period. Since 2012, this provision has also been utilised to fund the enabling phase of the Public Sector Reform programme.

As part of the 2012 Business Plan a commitment was made to continue the successful Fiscal Stimulus Programme for various skills and training initiatives and £1.9 million from the Restructuring Provision has been permanently transferred to departments for this purpose.

As part of the Medium Term Financial Plan proposals, the Restructuring Provision has also been reduced by about £1 million for the period of the plan to provide an allocation of funding for growth proposals from the Human Resources department.

The Restructuring Provision also provided an offset for procurement savings until these were defined and transferred to departments. Over the last three years the Procurement team has worked with departments to identify £3.045 million of savings which were allocated to departments from 2013 and the balance of £3.451 was allocated to departments in 2014. Of this final allocation a balance remains in Treasury and Resources still to be resolved.

The freeing up of Restructuring Provision will allow allocations to support elements of the public sector reform programme. In 2014/15 this will include the funding for the first phase of eGovernment, the continued support for the Workforce Modernisation workstream such as the Job Evaluation and Pay Reward projects as well as implementing and supporting the roll-out of Lean methodology throughout all States departments.

2015 Budget Measures

As part of the 2015 Budget a range of measures were proposed in order to manage the consolidated fund balance in 2015. It was identified that the balance on the Restructuring Provision at the end of 2015, taking into account all approved projects, would be £2.7m. This sum will be returned to the consolidated fund in 2015.

Central Contingencies

In addition to the Pay and Restructuring Provisions the allocations in the MTFP for Central Contingencies are made up of provisions for:

  Annually Managed Expenditure: this represents the more volatile areas of expenditure which are difficult to forecast and which are influenced by factors outside of the control of the department.

In 2013 to 2015 this will only represent Income Support and Social Security benefits as the level of Supplementation required was determined with the States approval of the new certainty formula proposed alongside the Medium Term Financial Plan by the Social Security Minister.

  Emerging Items: this provision was established in the 2012 Business Plan for a number of emerging

items for which a future significant cost was likely but where the exact cost and the timing were both uncertain. These emerging items included Freedom of Information and the HCAE Inquiry. The costs of these items are now clearer and the Council of Ministers has considered requests to earmark the required sums from this Contingency in 2013, 2014 and 2015.

  One-Off Contingency: in 2015 a base provision of £1 million together with any carry forward funding

will provide some flexibility to manage any unexpected one-off items.

The 2015 allocation for Central Contingencies, excluding the pay provision and restructuring provision, amounts to £7 million.

Transfers of Budget for 2015

  The recurring effects of the 2012 2014 pay awards, along with the specific pay awards, have been

transferred to Departments base budgets for 2015.

  The recurring effects of the remaining Procurement Savings which were agreed during 2014 have

been transferred to Departments base budgets from the Restructuring Provision.

  The Central Pay Provision has been reduced from 2.5% to 1.5% for 2015 and the 1% has been

transferred to a specific area created within Central Contingency Allocations which will hold the sums identified in the 2015 Budget Proposed Measures as being required to manage the consolidated fund in 2015.

  As agreed in the 2015 Budget, Departments 2015 cash limits have been reduced by a sum

equivalent to 2% of their Gross Expenditure budgets. These sums have also been transferred into the same specific area within Central Contingency Allocations and will be used to increase the consolidated fund balance in 2015.

Additional funding of £1.856m is required to replenish the Central Pay Provision in order to make provision for a 2015 pay award for all pay groups amounting to 1.5% of the total States pay bill and an allocation for a Doctors and Consultants award in 2015. This sum is already earmarked to be carried forward from the Central Contingency (One-off) provision in 2014.

Note 2: The 2015 Budget, approved on 24th September 2014, agreed a range of Proposed Measures to balance the consolidated fund, which included a reduction of 1% from the Central Pay Provision and 2% savings on Departmental Gross Expenditure budgets in 2015. These funds have been transferred into a specific area within Central Contingency Allocations and will be used to increase the consolidated fund balance in 2015.

Central Growth Allocation

Allocation of Growth for 2015

In the debate of the draft Budget 2014 (P69/2013) in December 2013, the States agreed the allocation of the central growth allocation for 2014 and 2015 of £2,210,000 and £1,460,000 respectively.

Article 11(3) of the Public Finances (Jersey) Law 2005 allows the allocation of future year s growth where this is recurrent.

The table below shows the allocations of recurrent funding for 2015 agreed in the 2014 Budget. These allocations to departments total the available central growth allocation provided in the MTFP for 2015. There is no further allocation of central growth available in 2015 and therefore there were no further proposals in the 2015 Budget.

  1. External Relations: International meetings, monitoring and visitors dignitaries (CMD) £160,000 for 2014 and 2015

External Relations was established using non-recurring funding sources. During 2010 and 2011

this cost was met from Fiscal Stimulus. This budget has been reduced from £260,000 in 2011 after agreeing joint monitoring contracts with Guernsey from 2012 onwards, closing the London office space used previously by the Director International Finance and cancelling the Paris monitoring contract. Whilst there is now a recurring budget for the 6 core staff and office expenses, the international operations programme is not funded. The international operations programme requires a recurring budget of £160,000 from 2014.

  1. External Relations: External specialist advice (CMD) £100,000 for 2014 and 2015

Since its establishment with non-recurring funding, External Relations has needed to commission specialist technical advice. Currently, technical expert advice from the London School of Economics Trade Policy Unit is required, for example, on the extension of the UK membership of the World Trade Organisation to include Jersey. £100,000 will buy on average 2 to 3 specialist reports per annum and recurring funding is required from 2014.

52. CSR: Fund permanent members of the CSR delivery team (CMD) £150,000 for 2014 and 2015

This team previously undertook the role of CSR Delivery Team but has now become the PSR Programme Office. The budget for the two members of staff was funded from the Restructuring Provision during the CSR process (2011 13) but now requires permanent funding of £150,000 from 2014 to support the Public Sector Reform programme. It is anticipated that this may need to be supplemented with additional temporary resource as required.

18. Private Sector Rental Support (SSD) £750,000 in 2014 and £1.0 million for 2015

 One impact of the proposed Housing incorporation and subsequent adjustment to social housing rental will be a likely knock on affect in private sector social housing rents. The affect of increased income support due to these rent increases will be recovered from both the new housing association and existing housing trusts. However, there will be an increase to those private sector social housing rents through income support which will not be recoverable. This could be in the order of £1 million. The increase in housing rents to 90% of market value is proposed to be introduced from April 2014.

43. Marine Response Team (MRT) (HA) £25,000 for 2014 and 2015

The funding for a UK Maritime off-shore ship firefighting capability has not been re-instated by either the UK Department for Transport or the Department of Communities and Local Government. There remains no UK provision to assist with emergency firefighting, industrial accidents or chemical incidents at sea. Many UK Fire and Rescue Services and their Authorities with notable maritime risk have taken the decision to fund the shortfall in order to maintain such a capability in and around their coastal waters.

The States of Jersey Fire and Rescue Service has developed and implemented a comprehensive local Marine Response Strategy, supported by capability, tactics and operations. These have been incorporated into Jersey Coastguard and Condor Marine Services Emergency Response Plan.

Central Growth allocation is required in order that the States of Jersey Fire and Rescue Service can maintain its capability to deal with fires, chemical release or industrial accidents on a vessel in Channel Island waters. This will also enable Jersey Fire and Rescue Service to access mutual assistance from those Services that have a maritime response capability, if required.

43a. Increased Running Costs of New Prison Facilities (HA) £25,000 for 2014 and 2015

The prison was designed in the late 1960s and was opened in 1974. A programmed redevelopment (Masterplan) commenced in 2003 to address some of the prison estate s shortcomings which were reinforced in previous inspections. The first five phases of the Masterplan have been delivered or are currently on site.

The construction of a new visit room and staff facility (phase four) opened in April 2013 and construction work on a new stores and engineers facility (phase five) commenced in May 2013 with a target completion date of February 2014. In addition, a new classroom, boiler house and greenhouse have now been constructed in the horticultural area of the prison.

These new facilities have increased the running costs of the prison which cannot be accommodated within the Home Affairs Department s net revenue expenditure.

49. Treatment and disposal of incinerator ash (TTS) £1,000,000 for 2014 only

Currently bottom and fly ash (APC residue) are disposed of in fully lined ash pits built to a specification to store the hazardous and non hazardous ash. There is increasing pressure to find sustainable methods for disposal or recycling of both bottom and fly ash. These pressures will require investment in new infrastructure in order to implement alternative disposal / recycling methods which will also increase the life of La Collette. The capital costs of these infrastructure improvements are currently estimated at £1,500,000 and are not included in the revenue figures below. Estimated revenue costs going forward are as follows:

  2014 £1,000,000 APC Off Island disposal for current ash   2015 £1,000,000 APC Off Island disposal for current ash,   2015 £700,000 to clear backlog of ash

  2015 £300,000 On Island recycling of bottom ash

Growth funding of £2 million from 2015 was approved as part of the Transport and Technical Services Department spending limit in the MTFP.

Introduction

The Medium Term Financial Plan (MTFP) set out the capital programme for each of the years 2013 2015 and the debate on the MTFP approved the capital programme, in total, for each of these years. The Budget for each of these years then approves the detailed list of projects. The 2015 Budget, agreed by the States Assembly on 24th September 2015, approved the 2015 Capital Programme without amendment.

The MTFP approved a total allocation in 2015 of £77,341,000. A review and reprioritization of the proposed programme reduced the total capital requirement to £75,144,000. The payroll software replacement, the second phases of additional primary school accommodation and sports strategy infrastructure have all been accommodated within the revised programme. The removal of the Social Housing programme following the incorporation of Andium Homes Ltd allowed for the second phases of the Future Hospital and Liquid Waste Strategy to be accommodated.

Chief Ministers Department

E Government (£320,000 for 2015). Public Sector Reform will create a more innovative and efficient and lower cost government. A key strand to the reform programme is the creation of an effective and efficient eGovernment model to deliver services to its customers.

eGovernment will provide the platform the States needs to achieve its strategic goals by:

  Providing the mechanisms to make it easier for customers, businesses and partners to interact with

the States;

  Creating an environment that will increase the digital skills of the States employees and citizens;   Delivering services through more cost effective channels, creating value for money for taxpayers;

  Becoming a major catalyst for the development of a Digital sector in Jersey, consistent with the Digital

Jersey Business Plan.

The purpose of this programme therefore is to put in place the technology necessary to achieving an efficient and effective eGovernment model for the States of Jersey.

Payroll Replacement (£1,000,000 for 2015). This funding will aid the procurement of a new Payroll system. The current Payroll system is at the end of its life with many limitations; it will also be unsupported from July 2015. A replacement is essential to ensure we are on current, supported technology / software, and ensure the system can support the current and future business operating model.

The current payroll system pays approximately 10,000 employees / pensioners through a variety of monthly and weekly payrolls. The Payroll Team input around 90,000 variable claim forms per annum for the payment of overtime, mileage claims etc.

A modern payroll system and processes are important building blocks to support the provision of streamlined back office support services. The Payroll Replacement Project Board has concluded

that improvements to payroll processes and systems should be met via the purchase of a new payroll system to support the in-house provision of payroll services by the Treasury & Resources Department to all States Departments.

A future payroll system should also have the ability to deal with the diverse and wide-ranging terms and conditions that are prevalent in the States of Jersey whilst also being able to deal with any modern reward structure introduced in the future.

Education, Sport and Culture

School ICT (£1,000,000 for 2015). The IT skills strategy was launched on 11 October 2013 to inspire the next generation to be digital champions, confident and able in a challenging business world where IT is increasingly at the forefront. This money is necessary to upgrade the infrastructure and provide equipment and training to schools to enable students to learn anytime, anyplace and to harness the

maximum benefit from mobile technology. Funding of £1,000,000 is the final part of a 3 year strategy from 2013 to 2015 making the overall total £3,000,000 for the School ICT project.

Additional Primary School Accommodation (£2,134,000 for 2015). Latest information on primary demographics indicates a significant increase in pupil numbers over the next few years. As a result it will be necessary to provide increased facilities for the schooling of these students. Feasibility studies have been completed to review and evaluate the options and a decision was made to provide additional classrooms on existing sites. The final cost for this option is £10,322,000, of which £8,188,000 was provided in 2014 and the balance of £2,134,000 is in the 2015 capital programme. Plans have been submitted for all projects with the exception of one, which will have plans submitted later this year. The first new classrooms will open for the 2015 16 academic year.

Sports Strategy Infrastructure (£1,450,000 for 2015). Projects include but are not limited to; artificial grass pitches at school sites, tennis court resurfacing, Les Quennevais cycle track resurfacing and the refurbishment of sport centres. This is a continuation of the Sports Infrastructure upgrade following the launch of the Sport Strategy and in preparation for the 2015 NatWest Island Games. This second phase of work will cost £1,450,000.

Health and Social Services

Future Hospital Feasibility Study and Initial Phases Design and Planning: (£22,700,000 for 2015). This funding provides for the development of the Feasibility Study Outline and Full Business Cases for the Future Hospital project to set out the proposed overall feasibility concept for the new build and refurbished Future Hospital capacity in response to the requirement placed upon the Council of Ministers under P.82/2012 to:

 co-ordinate the necessary steps by all relevant Ministers to bring forward for approval proposals

for the priorities for investment in hospital services and detailed plans for a new hospital (either on a new site or a rebuilt and refurbished hospital on the current site), including full details of all manpower and resource implications necessary to implement the proposals.

The funding will enable the development of design work to provide a feasibility design for the whole future hospital concept for consideration by the States Assembly and the necessary design work to enable the tendering of initial phases of the Future Hospital capacity for States Assembly consideration such that recommendation for the appointment of construction contractors can be sought in Budget 2016.

In addition the funding will enable the relocation of Community and Social Services from existing failing buildings at Overdale, the demolition of these buildings in readiness for initial phases of development of the Future Hospital at Overdale and the undertaking of enabling works that would improve access and utility connections to the General Hospital and at Overdale to make them fit for development of fit for purpose Health Buildings.

The provisional allocation of 2015 funding comprises1:

Overdale Development (Design, demolition and enabling works) £6,415,000 General Hospital Initial phase design and enabling works £7,024,000 General Hospital Subsequent phases design and enabling works £7,845,000 Cancer Care Design Works £638,000 Planning Vote £778,000

£22,700,000

Note 1: The Budget 2014 budget profile for 2015 is retained for the purposes of project planning and has been applied to Strategic Outline Case estimates, within a single capital Head of Expenditure. The actual allocated spend may need to be modified to reflect improving information during development of the Feasibility Study, which will require reallocation of the available budget across the cost elements.

Replacement of MRI Scanner (£2,277,000 for 2015). The Health and Social Services Department currently owns and operates an MRI scanner, which was commissioned in December 2007. The MRI scanner is in constant use and in 2013, 7,418 scans were undertaken. The unit operates Monday

to Saturday (71 hours per week), however, in 2014 it has also operated on most Sundays to meet increased demand. The MRI scanner needs replacing in 2015 and the replacement costs include the purchase and commissioning of a new machine as well as the necessary building costs associated with installation.

Replacement of RIS/PACS (£1,567,000 for 2015). Replacement of the Picture Archiving Communication System (PACS) and the Radiology Information System (RIS). PACS and RIS are the names given to a number of computer based systems designed to run the Radiology Department and distribute reports and images to all relevant clinicians both inside and outside the hospital. The scope also covers updating a range of hardware including the main server infrastructure and visual display equipment for viewing the images and reports.

Limes Upgrade (£1,662,000 for 2015). The Limes is a care home built in the 1980s to a very high standard but not refurbished since. This project will:

  Replace all floor, wall and ceiling finishes in all bedrooms, shower rooms (including new sanitary

ware), corridors and communal areas;

  Install 3 new assisted bathrooms;

  Modernise and increase number of sluice rooms; and   Completely redecorate the building inside and out.

Transport and Technical Services

Infrastructure Rolling Vote (£11,097,000 for 2015). The infrastructure rolling vote is designed to allow TTS to facilitate the maintenance and further improvement of the Island s infrastructure network. The allocation is split broadly between highways (34%), traffic improvements/street lighting (11%), drainage infrastructure maintenance including pumping stations (46%) and other infrastructure assets (9%).

Liquid Waste Strategy (£25,494,000 for 2015). The liquid waste strategy is the master plan for the complete regeneration of the Bellozanne site.

The STW was originally constructed in the late 1950 s for a population of 57,000. In the intervening years it has been continually improved and upgraded to take into account significant population increases, changes in volume of incoming flow, increased environmental standards and technological enhancements.

Whilst the plant has generally performed well over the years, it is now struggling to meet its is charge consents, mainly due to the now inadequate and outdated design, poor performance of the main treatment technology installed, and the variability of loading to the works, particularly under high flow and storm conditions.

The only way forward is for a complete regeneration of the Bellozanne site including a new sewage treatment works.

Funding of £10,100,000 was awarded to Transport and Technical Services in 2014 to undertake the first phase of this work. This included undertaking planning and environmental impact studies, site investigations, initial service diversions and the replacement of the clinical waste incinerator, which currently sits in the middle of the site. The majority of this work should be completed by the end of 2014, although it is envisaged that some may run into the first half of 2015.

Funding of £25,494,000 has been proposed in the 2015 capital programme to allow the Department to begin phase 2 of this regeneration programme. This work will include the demolition and excavation of parts of the hillside at Bellozanne to provide a greater operating surface, site remediation, completion of the detailed design, procurement and awarding of the STW phase I construction contract. This contract is likely to be awarded towards the second half of the year with the contractor starting on

site in quarter 3. The scope of these works will include creation of new inlet works, primary settlement tanks, storm tanks and some of the final settlement tanks, sludge storage and the administration building. It is anticipated that this contract will last until the beginning of 2017. The total funding of £25,494,000 is required in order for the Department to enter into a construction contract with the approved supplier in accordance with the requirements of the Public Finance Law (Jersey) 2005.

Once these works are built, connected to the existing sewage treatment works and commissioned, phase II of the works can be commenced, which will involve removing the existing inlet works, primary settlement and sludge areas and constructing the new ASP lanes, remaining final settlement tanks and new UV treatment plant.

EFW Plant La Collette Replacement Assets (£681,000 for 2015). The Energy From Waste plant

(EFW) begun operations in October 2010 and is of strategic importance to the island. The asset

must be maintained to a high level to ensure that it can handle the Island s waste, maintain electrical generation and minimise the use of chemicals and utilities. The main financial benefits stemming from the replacement of these assets include lower operating and maintenance costs and preservation of the current level of service provided to the user. As the plant is a pressure system it must be maintained to an acceptable standard to satisfy the insurance inspector. The plant must continue to be able to meet its environmental emission standards as specified in its Waste Management Licence. The plant

is of strategic importance for managing the treatment of the Island s waste. A long term breakdown of the plant would be difficult and expensive to deal with so would constitute an unacceptable risk. The

plant also has to comply with the Waste Incinerator Directive (WID). Thus it is essential that the plant s emissions are maintained to internationally recognised safe levels.

Road Safety Improvements (£635,000 for 2015). In order to promote the current sustainable transport policy, additional funding is required to maintain and increase the infrastructure for non-motor vehicles. Various high level schemes have been identified although detailed analysis of each is still required:

  Extension of the Eastern Cycle Network

  Safety of the Western Cycle Network

  Enhancing the cycle route in St Peters Valley

  Various projects on bus stop safety

In addition, certain sections of road have been identified as having road traffic collision levels that are higher than appropriate especially for vulnerable users such as pedestrians, cyclists and motor cyclists.

Other Capital

Vehicle Replacement (£300,000 for 2015). This funding is to support the work of Jersey Fleet Management in the purchase of vehicles on behalf of departments. This is a continuation of the funding established in the 2012 Business Plan to enable the initial purchase of additional vehicles.

Replacement Assets (£2,827,000 for 2015). Departments go through a process of identifying those assets that are due for replacement and then conduct a prioritisation exercise to come to their final request.

Ports of Jersey

Minister's Introduction

The Ports of Jersey (PoJ) comprise the Island s key strategic transport assets, the Port of St Helier and Jersey Airport, the historic harbours plus numerous associated maritime and aeronautical assets and functions.

Jersey Airport provides a comprehensive network of commercial routes to 48 UK and European destinations, facilities for business aviation, and for local and visiting private aircraft. It is also contracted, through the Minister for External Relations, to provide air traffic control for the Channel Islands Control Zone on behalf of the French and UK authorities.

In addition to commercial port activity, Jersey Harbours provides marinas and moorings for local boat owners and visitors, including the Five Gold Anchor status marinas in St. Helier, as well as moorings in the outlying harbours and maintenance of those harbours. Importantly, Jersey Harbours also provides the coastguard service for our territorial waters, an essential public service, which in most jurisdictions is funded by taxpayers, but which in Jersey, is funded entirely by revenue generated through Ports commercial activity.

Following successful integration of Jersey Harbours and Jersey Airport into the Ports of Jersey in 2012, the Assembly gave its in principle approval through P.70/2012 for the incorporation of the Port of Jersey, following precedent set in respect of Jersey Telecom and Jersey Post. Incorporation will result in the creation of a single entity, with an independent Board. The States will retain 100% shareholding with shareholder responsibility discharged by the Minister for Treasury and Resources.

The technical elements of the incorporation project were completed within the timescale set out in P.70/2012. A White Paper with the following supporting papers was submitted to the Council of Ministers 19 May 2014:-

  1. an externally verified case supporting incorporation,
  2. details of theregulatoryframework which will surround the new company, and
  3. the latest draft of theAir and SeaPorts (Incorporation) Jersey Law 201-.

The White Paper consultation ran from 29th May to 15th August 2014 and served primarily to pull together the considerable volume of work that has been done towards incorporation. The supporting documents were intended to detail for the public the rationale behind incorporation as well as informing Islanders of the policy issues surrounding the subject. At its heart, the consultation addressed the significant structural issues facing the harbours and airports and the potential implications of allowing the situation to continue without some positive action. It identified the benefits of incorporation and indicated how the corporate approach of an incorporated entity can be channelled to benefit the Public. The results of the White Paper consultation were published in October 2014.

PORTS OF JERSEY   PAGE 195

Until incorporation, Jersey Airport and Jersey Harbours will remain within the existing States of Jersey structure and will continue their responsibilities as separate Trading Departments. The MTFP therefore assumes that both departments continue to remain self-financing in terms of both revenue and capital for the period 2013 2015.

Jersey Car Parking

Minister's Introduction

The main areas of operation for Jersey Car Parking (JCP) are:   Provision of public parking facilities

  Policing of public parking areas

The key projects and issues in 2013 15 are as follows:

Jersey has been using the paycard system of payment for parking for more than 20 years. Following the success of the trial of an alternative payment system at Sand Street car park, officers from JCP have been evaluating other payment systems to establish the best system to roll out to other public car parks. Since the initial trial, other payment methods have continued development and further options are now being evaluated for suitability for Jersey.

The Sustainable Transport Policy aims to reduce the number of cars on the road, particularly commuter traffic. It is still early days in the Policy s implementation, but it is expected that there will be more people taking the bus, cycling, walking and motorcycling over the coming years. JCP will need to carefully monitor car park demand to ensure there is an appropriate supply of public parking. Motorcycle parking has already been increased in recent years and it is expected that the demand for commuter parking will reduce, but it is recognised that an adequate supply of well-located shopper parking is important for the town centre.

The future of the Esplanade car park is dependent upon development plans for the Esplanade Quarter; spaces affected by construction work will, in the short-term, be displaced to temporary parking on the Waterfront, before being ultimately replaced within the new development.

Once the North of St Helier Flood Alleviation Scheme is complete at Philips Street it is intended that the existing surface car part at Ann Court will be developed for social housing. The proposals for the site are still under consideration, and JCP continues to work with the developers to ensure that these town car parking spaces are maintained for public access. The North of Town Masterplan also identified

the need for further spaces in the North of Town, and JCP is also working with the Department for the Environment and developers in order to try to deliver the plan.

In parallel with the Public Accounts Review of Jersey Car Parking, JCP has been updating the model which is used to plan and provide for the future capital and revenue requirements of the Trading Operation. Uncertainty over the extent of development of car parking in the North of Town and requirements for refurbishment of existing car parking facilities means that the model assumptions are currently being reviewed prior to inclusion of proposals in the next Medium Term Financial Plan.

2015 Budget Measures

The opening balance on the Car Parks Trading Fund at 1 January 2015 takes into account the transfer of £2,635,000 to the Consolidated Fund in 2014 as part of the measures to balance the 2015 Budget.

Jersey Fleet Management

JERSEY FLEET MANAGEMENT  PAGE 227

Minister's Introduction

The main aims of operation for Jersey Fleet Management (JFM) are to:

  provide the States with a fleet of vehicles fit for purpose at the best possible whole life costs; and   provide cost effective fuel and workshop services for States fleet vehicles.

From 2012, Jersey Fleet Management (JFM) was tasked with providing fleet procurement and fleet maintenance for all States Departments. The process of bringing departments on board continues, as departmental vehicle stock is assessed and prioritised for replacement.

Unfortunately due to pressures on the States Capital Fund in 2015, the third tranche of funding for the States Fleet Management project has been partially deferred to 2016, with £1.2 million funding now having to be provided by running the trading fund at a deficit for a short period, if required.

A full fleet audit of states vehicles has identified that the total requirement for replacement of departmental vehicles is significantly in excess of the £5 million assigned in 2013 15 and discussions will need to take place to establish a funding route for 2016 20. Once all vehicles have been brought under the JFM lease arrangements, the trading fund should be mainly self-sustaining.

The new contract for the lease hire car fleet for the States of Jersey commenced in January 2013 and will run for the MTFP period of 2013 2015. The new fleet meets more stringent carbon dioxide standards and includes a trial of ten electric vehicles in three States Departments.
