Introduction to the Annex
The principal accounts document is the Financial Report and Accounts, which includes high level financial summaries and the Minister's and Treasurer's reports. The aim of the Financial Report and Accounts has been to produce a concise annual report which will appeal to the majority of users of the accounts.
This supplementary accounts document sets out more details about figures in the accounts, which should be read in conjunction with the Financial Report and Accounts. The information contained within this annex is unaudited.
The Treasury and Resources Department hopes that readers will find the information in this annex of benefit and would encourage any queries in relation to the annex to be addressed to the relevant Department.
A copy of the 2014 Financial Report and Accounts can be found on the States of Jersey website (www.gov.je); alternatively a hard copy can be obtained from the States Assembly Information Centre at the following address:
Morier House St. Helier Jersey
JE1 1DD
The Treasury and Resources Department thanks all departments for their cooperation in providing the information to allow this annex to be produced.

Introduction to the Annex
Explanation of the contents of Department/Fund Pages
The detailed information also includes narrative From 2013 FTE figures have been reported without information on the key financial results in a format that is exemptions that were previously part of the Regulations comparable between Departments/Funds. However, some of Undertakings Law (e.g. covering exempt students variation is necessary due to the differing nature of the and absence cover). Employees without a fixed working entities. The table below shows which sections apply to pattern are not included in these figures.
each type of entity.
Financial Statements
Key Results
This section examines the highlights for the entity's performance. For Departments and Trading Operations this will normally consider performance against the Budget approved by the States, and changes from the previous year.
Special Funds may focus instead on the financial position at the end of the year and will also consider the performance of investments held in the Common Investment Fund (CIF).
Participants in the CIF recognise all income and gains
on these investments as gains or losses on the units held, and so when considering the performance of these funds it is important to consider the performance of
its investments in the CIF as well as the results in the Statement of Comprehensive Net Expenditure. Further information about how information is presented is given in the next section.
Service Analysis
This section looks at where the expenditure in a department/trading operation was spent (and income received), and what the key variances from budget and changes from the previous year were. Near-Cash and Non-Cash items are separately identified.
Staff Full Time Equivalent Employees
This considers how many Full Time Equivalent (FTE) employees the department/trading operation had at the end of the year. It also compares this to the position at the previous year end.
These statements are similar to those included for the whole States of Jersey in the main accounts for individual entities, but are shown gross of internal charges to allow a proper comparison against budget. Non-cash items are shown separately in the Statements of Comprehensive Net Expenditure.
Trading Fund Balance
Under the Public Finances (Jersey) Law 2005, Trading Operations must maintain a Trading Fund that does not form part of the Consolidated Fund. The Fund balance
for each operation is calculated on the same basis as the Consolidated Fund (see the Consolidated Fund section for details), and shown in this section.

Note on the performance of Investments held in the Common Investment Fund
During 2010 a Common Investment Fund was created
to allow funds (both inside and outside of the States accounting boundary) to pool funds for investment purposes. The CIF is an administrative arrangement, not a separate fund, and provides a simple cost effective way of pooling funds for investment purposes. The aim of the CIF is to provide greater investment opportunities, economies of scale and minimise fees and costs.
In operation, participant funds buy "units" in various CIF pools. Each pool will then buy individual investments in line with agreed strategies. This means that individual participants do not own investments, but rather units in the relevant CIF pool. As a result, participants recognise gains or losses based on the units held rather than the underlying investments.
The amount of income, expenditure, gains and losses incurred in the CIF attributable to each participant is tracked, and the results included in the participants' pages in the Annex. These amounts are equivalent to those that would have been included in the financial statements of the participant if they held the investments directly, and it is important to consider these results in conjunction with those in the SoCNE.
Effect of changes to Accounting Standards
Accounting Standards evolve with time, and the Minister has a policy of annually updating the Accounting Standards used by the States of Jersey. In 2014 there have been several changes in the Accounts, and details of these changes are given in Section 6 and Note 9.3 of the main Accounts document. Previous years' figures have been restated in both the main Accounts and Annex to ensure consistency between years and compliance with IAS 10.
The incorporation of the Housing department into a separate legal entity (a company limited by guarantee) was approved by the States under P.63/2013. The transfer into the new company was effective from the
1st July 2014. The 2013 Financial Report and Accounts were prepared on the assumption that the newly formed housing company would fall outside of the direct control of the States of Jersey and so would not be consolidated. On that basis, they were treated as a discontinuing operation as per IFRS 5, with a view to being treated the same way as the other Strategic Investments.
Following the agreement of the Memorandum of Understanding for Andium Homes, further consideration was given to whether this was appropriate as the governance framework in place for Andium Homes resulted in a more significant involvement of the States of Jersey in decision making than was the case for the other Strategic Investments. By virtue of those arrangements, it was deemed that the States appeared to operate direct control of Andium Homes.
To reflect this change the results of the Housing Department and Andium Homes are now shown within the consolidated financial statements.
Introduction to the Annex
Final Approved Budgets
Revenue Approvals
Whilst the following departmental pages compare actual results against budget at a detailed level, the States approve only the total departmental budget.
The final approved budget for each department may vary from that approved in the Medium Term Financial
Plan for several reasons, including additional budget allocations during the year, transfers between revenue and capital heads of expenditure and other transfers between departments (which are approved by formal Ministerial Decisions).
A summary is set out in the table below:
Department | MTFP 2014 Total NRE Near Cash | Carry Forward from 2013 | Allocation of Contingency | Allocation of Additional Funding | Transfers between capital and revenue | Departmental Transfers | 2014 Final Approved Budget Near Cash | 2014 Final Approved Budget Non Cash | 2014 Final Approved Budget |

Notes:
- Carry Forwards from 2013
Carry Forwards from 2013 were approved by Ministerial Decision (MD-TR-2014-0011: "2013 Year End Carry Forwards"), which approved the carry forward of £19.9 million of departmental underspends from 2013 to 2014, the carry forward of £18.3 million to Allocations for Contingencies in 2014 (£17.4 million of unallocated contingency, £0.7 million of departmental underspends and £0.2 million of Court and Case Costs underspends).
- Allocations for Contingency
Contingency Expenditure is approved by the States in the Medium Term Financial Plan, and the Public Finances Law allows the Minister for Treasury and Resources to approve transfers from contingency expenditure to heads of expenditure under Article 17.
4. Transfers between Capital and Revenue and Transfers between departments
From 2010, every effort has been made to prepare Business Plans/Medium Term Financial Plans to accurately estimate the split of Capital and Revenue budgets according to GAAP. However, where variations to these estimates occur in year, adjustments may still be required. Capital approvals in previous years were not necessarily fully GAAP compliant, and where these included approvals for revenue expenditure in 2014, budget adjustments have been required to bring the budget into line with accounting definitions.
These are approved by a Treasurer's Delegated Decision, and reported to the States as part of the six monthly Budget Management Report.
3. Additional Funding Approved in Year
The Public Finances Law allows the approval of budgets in addition to those approved in the Medium Term Financial Plan, under specific circumstances. These are:
• Article 9(2) allows the States to amend an expenditure approval on a proposition lodged by Council of Ministers if a state of emergency has been declared or on the grounds that there is an urgent need for expenditure and no expenditure approval is available.
• Article 20 allows the Minister for Treasury and Resources to approve an expenditure approval where a state of emergency has been declared or where the Minister is satisfied that there otherwise exists
an immediate threat to the safety of all or any of the inhabitants of Jersey. In this case the Minister must lodge a proposition seeking expenditure approval.
In addition, amounts previously approved may be reallocated by the Treasury Minister under Article 18(1).

Consolidated Fund Balance
The Consolidated Fund balance is calculated in a way to represent funds available to be spent in future years, and includes:
• Financial Assets (Advances and Investments held at Fair Value through Profit or Loss).
• Net Current Assets or Liabilities (adjusted for elements of Pension, Finance Lease, and other obligations, which will be included in future expenditure approvals).
• Provisions for liabilities and charges. The Consolidated Fund excludes:
• Assets which cannot be easily converted into cash (Property, Plant and Equipment, Intangible Assets and Strategic Investments).
• Other Long Term Liabilities – which will be settled from future expenditure approvals.
Available Consolidated Fund Balance
The balance calculated does not take into account withdrawals from the Consolidated Fund that have already been approved (and so are not available to spend). The balance must be adjusted for these to give the balance available at the end of the year. With the move to three year planning under the MTFP, elements of this balance may be allocated by the States to fund expenditure in future years. 2015 expenditure has already been approved by the States in the MTFP 2013–2015.
Capital projects are approved on an allocation basis and so any unspent amounts are removed from the available balance. Similarly, amounts approved for specific purposes but that have not yet been allocated to departments, and property receipts that will be used to purchase assets under Article 18(5) of the Law are also removed. Finally, an adjustment must be made for amounts that will be included in a future revenue head of expenditure through the carry forward process.

The majority of departmental income is derived from recharges to other States Departments for the provision of centralised services including Human Resources and Information Services support.
A major external income stream relates to Population Office fees for the issue of business licenses and licenses under the Control of Housing and Work Law as well as for the registration of lodging houses.
Other Variances (18) Net Underspend 1,383
Public Sector Reform planned to underspend by
£0.7 million in 2014 because part of the programme's 2014 budget was intended to be carried forward to meet expenditure in 2015.
Information Services underspent by £0.4 million through reductions in non-staff expenditure and the careful management of staff vacancies in order to respond to pressures elsewhere within the Department.
Financial Services underspent by £0.3 million in 2014 by tightly managing non-staff expenditure and delaying staff recruitment in order to ensure that the full programme of projects planned for 2015 could be funded.
Other variances consists of the balance of several smaller underspends and offsetting overspends.

Staffing
At the year end the department employed 261.8 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) employees.
This represents an increase of 40.4 FTE (18.2%) on 2013, which is mainly driven by the creation of temporary posts to deliver projects. This includes 17.8 FTE for the implementation of the Freedom of Information Law, 9.7 FTE for Public Sector Reform and 2.0 FTE related to the Committee of Inquiry into Historical Child Abuse. These posts will expire once the projects have been completed.
Other increases are driven by recruitment to posts that were vacant at the end of 2013 as well as additional staffing to support Financial Services, Law Drafting, the Population Office and Constitutional Affairs.
Fixed Assets
The department holds fixed assets such as servers,
air conditioning units and uninterruptible power supply units as well as intangible assets in the form of software applications.
It also holds current assets and liabilities relating to the day-to-day operation of the department such as Trade Debtors and Trade Creditors.
The cost of using Fixed Assets is recorded through Non- Cash Expenditure.

2014 NRE 31,163
The majority of the change in expenditure between 2014 and 2013 relates to an increase of £4.9 million in the cost of the Chief Executive's Office. The primary drivers of this increase were a one-off grant of £3.6 million to the National Trust to purchase the Plémont headland and expenditure of £0.9 million on the Committee of Inquiry into Historical Child Abuse.
Expenditure on Public Sector Reform increased by
£1.5 million as 2014 was the first full year of operation for the majority of projects including eGovernment, implementing Lean methodology and updating employee terms and conditions.
Information Services grew by £0.6 million in the year
as the Freedom of Information Implementation Project entered its next phase of development, incurring costs of
|
£1.0 million. These costs were partially offset by efforts to manage staff recruitment in order to support pressures in other areas of the Department, which resulted in a reduction of £0.4 million.
External Relations expenditure rose by £0.4 million in 2014 due to the establishment of the London Office costing £0.6 million. This increase was partially offset by operational efficiencies elsewhere within the section that saved £0.2m.
Other variances include investment in HR to support workforce modernisation, additional funding for the implementation of the Financial Services Industry Policy Framework and delivery of the 3 yearly Household Expenditure Survey.

Rural Support
Rural Support is responsible for the development and implementation of strategies, legislation and policy that will ensure a viable future and growth for the rural economy, including the agriculture and fisheries industries based
on the principles of sustainable development. Activities include the development of export markets, promotion of locally produced food through the Genuine Jersey brand and promoting the Jersey Royal brand.
The Rural Development programme provides direct
and indirect aid through the Single Area Payment, the Quality Milk Payment and the Rural Initiative scheme together with grant funding to the Royal Jersey Agricultural and Horticultural Society for the provision of Artificial Insemination and Milk Recording services.
Key areas of development in 2014 were:
• Cattle testing – to support cattle exports requiring compliance with EU legislation.
• Support for Fisherman – a package of grants and subsidies awarded as a consequence of unprecedented bad weather in 2014.
Ongoing growth in the rural economy will be consistent with the philosophy that the future is increasingly about the public sector facilitating greater self-reliance and independence.
There was a small underspend against budget of
£0.2 million mainly due to reduced costs for the cattle testing programme of £0.1 million and a slight reduction in Single area and Quality Milk payments of £0.1 million.
Grants and Subsidies
A large proportion of the department's budget (60.4%) is invested in growing and diversifying the economy through a combination of grants and subsidies.
There was an increase in grants paid compared to 2013 of £6.7 million mainly due to an increase in funding for following:
• Jersey Innovation Fund £5.0 million
• Jersey Finance £0.9 million
• Digital Jersey £0.3 million
• Route Development £0.2 million
• Skills Accelerator Scheme £0.2 million
• Cattle Testing £0.1 million and
• Fishing Industry £0.1 million
Supplies and Services
The majority of the department's supplies and services expenditure of £3.0 million is advertising and promotional activity for Tourism and Inward Investment attracting visitors.
Other Operating Expenditure
There was a loan repayment made of £0.1 million from the Small Firms Loan Guarantee Scheme.

Income from Fee Paying Provided schools increased by £0.4 million (4.4%) compared to 2013 due to annual school fee increases at Victoria College, Victoria College Prep, Jersey College for Girls and Jersey College for Girls Prep. Pupil numbers across these schools remained unchanged from 2013 at about 2,100.
Highlands College fees from full and part time vocational courses, higher education and adult education matched 2013 income of £2.6 million. This represented a decrease on budget due to a small reduction in enrolments for higher and adult education. The College caters for approximately 7,000 students each year across all courses with around half of these taking adult education courses.
Culture and Lifelong Learning
Higher Education 2,290 Committee of Inquiry into Historical Child

Other Variances (13) Net Underspend 4,485
The underspend in Schools and Colleges reflects the Delegated Financial Management arrangement that allows Non Fee Paying Provided Primary and Secondary Schools to carry forward funds to manage the differential between the academic and financial year. School funding is determined largely by pupil numbers which can fluctuate and have a significant impact on budgets. Allowing schools to carry forward underspends enables them to
more effectively manage these changes over a longer period and plan for one-off minor capital projects e.g. decoration.
Fee Paying Provided Schools comprise Victoria College and Jersey College for Girls. The same Delegated Financial Management arrangement applies to these schools, which together with prudent planning and spending provides the schools with the ability to manage minor school improvement works and minimise fee increases in future years.
Higher Education university grant payments are dependent on a combination of factors including the number of students opting to attend university, courses and universities chosen and financial considerations including the level of household income. The underspend of £2.4 million against budget reflects favourable changes in these factors as well as a significant saving from the
UK government's decision in 2012 to cap tuition fees at £9,000 per annum for UK universities, which has remained in place for three successive years. The MTFP provided for fee growth of £1.5 million in 2014 in anticipation of the relaxation of this cap which is next due for review at the end of 2015.
The department received funding of £0.3 million from the central contingency at the end of the year to cover the full costs associated with the Committee of Inquiry into Historical Child Abuse. No costs were incurred by the department in 2014 but are expected in 2015.

Staffing
At the year end the department employed the equivalent of 1,603.9 full time employees. This is an increase of 14.6 (0.9%) from 2013, and is mostly due to the recruitment
of 6.5 staff to facilitate the expansion of the Trackers Apprentice Programme with the balance representing recruitment across the service in line with planned budget increases.
Fixed Assets
The department holds Property, Plant and Equipment
of £2.9 million including Antiques and Works of Art
(£0.7 million), School minibuses (£0.3 million) and Assets currently under the Course of Construction (£1.6 million) primarily in relation to capital project expenditure on the Sport Strategy "Fit for the Future 2014–2018".
It also holds current assets and liabilities relating to the day-to-day operation of the department such as Trade Debtors and Trade Creditors.

Supplies and Services mainly represent an increase in school IT related spend following the roll out of the IT Strategy "Thinking Differently 2013–2015" during the year. Total funding of £3.0 million has been allocated to the IT Strategy spread over the period of the MTFP.
Grants and subsidies payments represent increased grant payments in relation to the Sport Strategy "Fit for the Future 2014–2018" which was launched during the year and provided for development funding of £1.5 million over 2 years, the first £0.75 million being released in 2014 to support clubs and associations, sporting events and an increase in general participation.
Social Benefit payments, which represent student university grants, decreased by £0.5 million in 2014 as a result of a combination of factors as referred to above. The number of Jersey students accessing higher education remained largely unchanged at about 1,400 in 2014.

Non Fee Paying Provided Schools
Non Fee Paying Provided or States schools comprise:
17 Nursery, 22 Primary, 5 Secondary and 3 Special Needs schools (including UK placements) together with the Jersey Music Service with a total annual near cash budget in 2014 of £66.9 million.
Overall the number of pupils in States schools (excluding nursery) remained consistent at circa. 8,700 with a small increase in primary numbers offset by a similar drop in secondary numbers.
The spending increase over 2013 of £3.7 million (5.9%) reflects the 4% consolidated pay award and non-staff inflation in 2014. Approximately 88% of all primary and secondary school expenditure relates to staff costs.
The net underspend of £1.1 million (1.7%) against Final Approved Budget is due to the Delegated Financial Management arrangements in place for schools.
Youth Service
The Youth Service provides a broad range of personal
and social development opportunities targeted at young people aged 12 to 18 in Jersey as well as the Prince's Trust programmes which support young people aged 16 to 25. The Youth Service comprises: 14 centre based Youth Clubs, Crabbe Activity Centre, Move on Café and the newly refurbished St James Centre with a total annual near cash
budget in 2014 of £1.7 million.
Expenditure in 2014 exceeded 2013 by £0.3 million (22.0%) as a result of additional funding from the central contingency to facilitate the expansion of the Prince's Trust programmes. This enabled 2 more programmes to be scheduled in 2014 in support of 24 unemployed young people.
Approximately 150 to 200 young people per week are engaged in Youth Service activities.
Culture, Heritage and Libraries
Culture, Heritage and Libraries expenditure includes: grants to Jersey Heritage Trust, Jersey Opera House, Jersey Arts Trust and Jersey Arts Centre together with the Island's Public Library with a total annual near cash budget in 2014 of £7.0 million.
The marginal spending increase over 2013 of £0.1 million (0.9%) represents the 4% consolidated pay award, non- staff inflation and an additional one-off grant to the Jersey Heritage Trust of £0.3 million for emergency repairs to the Mont Orgueil castle first gate. These increases were offset by the one-off grant to the Jersey Heritage Trust in 2013 of £0.7 million to fund the acquisition and restoration of the coin hoard and other precious metals found in Grouville in June 2012.
Further and Higher Education
Further and Higher Education expenditure includes: Highlands College, Skills Board, the Trackers Apprentice Programme and the provision of Higher Education grants for students attending university with total annual near cash budgets in 2014 of £23.4 million.
The spending increase over 2013 of £0.6 million (2.9%) represents the expansion of the Trackers training and education initiative at a cost of £0.2 million to fund 77 additional apprentices and £0.4 million at Highlands College as a result of pay awards and non-staff inflation.
The net underspend of £2.3 million (10.4%) against Final Approved Budget mainly represents saving on Higher Education due its dependence not only on the number of students attending university but also the universities and courses chosen which can vary in cost and the changes to assessment criteria this year which included the introduction of household income and a reduction in maximum capital assets excluding main residence.
Sports Division
Sports Division expenditure includes 3 main sports centres with a variety of sports facilities and playing fields spread throughout the Island. The division also has responsibility for sports development, grants, and community sports with a total annual near cash budget in 2014 of £6.0 million.
Spend in 2014 increased substantially over 2013 at £1.8 million (43.0%) due to the 4% consolidated pay award, non-staff inflation and additional funding of £0.75 million from the central contingency for the Sport Strategy "Fit for the Future 2014–2018" which was launched in October 2013 to develop and promote participation within schools, exercise referral and to support clubs and sporting events.
In continued challenging economic times, Active Card income remains buoyant at £1.9 million (2013: £1.9 million) and the centres continue to attract in excess of 1.2 million visits per year.

Staff Expenditure
Staff expenditure represents 67.5% of total expenditure. Cost increases over 2013 of £3.8 million (4.5%) reflects the 4% consolidated pay award for 2014 and the cost of 14.6 additional full time equivalent employees as referred to previously.
The increase over budget of £0.2 million (0.3%) arises from restructuring costs including staff redundancy.
Grants and Subsidies Payments
Grant increases over 2013 of £0.7 million (5.0%) represent the net impact of increases for the 4% consolidated pay award, the Sport Strategy and the 2015 NatWest Island Games offset by the net reduction in one-off grants paid to the Jersey Heritage Trust, as explained previously, and FCJ Primary school which received a one-off grant in 2013 of £0.3 million for building works to increase school capacity.
The underspend against budget of £0.4 million (3.3%) mainly represents savings on subsidies for free nursery education provided under the Nursery Education Fund as a result of fewer children than expected accessing the provision.
Social Benefit Payments
Social Benefit Payments include student grants for university tuition fees and maintenance to help towards living expenses, accommodation, travel, food and books. Funding is based on a means-tested assessment and covers around 1,400 students.
Costs for 2014 decreased by £0.5 million (5.6%) on 2013 due to changes in the mix of universities and courses chosen, the introduction of household income rather than parental income assessment and the reduction in the maximum parental contribution, based on joint capital assets excluding main residence, from £750,000 to £500,000.
The underspend of £2.3 million (21.0%) against budget has been explained previously. Any increase in the
UK cap on university tuition fees in 2015 is likely to have a significant impact on the departments funding requirements for tuition fees in future years.
Other Expenditure
Supplies and services represents 64.2% of budgeted total other expenditure and include items such as computer hardware and software purchases, sports equipment purchases, teaching materials and hired services. Costs exceeded 2013 by £2.8 million (29.3%) mainly due to costs associated with the IT and Sport Strategies which received extra funding in the year of £1.0 million and £0.75 million respectively. The underspend against budget of £2.1 million (14.5%) reflects the arrangement
for Delegated Financial Management allowing schools to carry forward funds to manage the differential between the
|
academic and financial year and the underspend on the Committee of Inquiry into Historical Child Abuse referred to previously.
Premises and maintenance represents 31.2% of budgeted total other expenditure and include items such as minor building works, grounds maintenance, cleaning, insurance and utility costs. Costs exceeded budget by £0.6 million (8.8%) mainly due to increased spending on minor building works and utility costs, in particular higher electricity
costs than expected in the sports centres and secondary schools.

The majority of income raised by the Department relates to Planning and Building application fees. These fees offset the costs of providing these regulatory functions, and are largely dependent on the volume of development and construction work taking place.
The next largest income stream comes from the provision of meteorological information, which is mostly made up from Service Level Agreements with Ports of Jersey, as well as Guernsey Airport.
Water framework directive underspend 68 Other Variances 154
Net Underspend 501
The main individual contributor to the underspend against budget is from Planning Policy, which had an underspend due to staff secondment to the Strategic Housing Unit, and the focus on the Island Plan, which was funded from elsewhere, resulting in a reduction of other Planning Policy work.
Other Variances is made up of many small variances around the Department.

Staffing
At the year end the department employed the equivalent of 110.2 full time employees. This is an increase of 1.3 (1.2%) from 2013, and is due to the filling of vacancies during the year.
Fixed Assets
The department holds non-current assets, which are primarily specialised software for Planning and Building, the Marine enforcement vessel (the Norman Le Brocq) and the Met radar.
It also holds current assets and liabilities relating to the day-to-day operation of the department such as Trade Debtors and Trade Creditors.

The main difference to 2013 is the increase in planning fees received in the year. As well as some resurgence
in the building sector, the increase of 2.5% in fees from
1 January 2014 contributed to the overall increase in fees received.
The second largest difference from the prior year relates the net total spent on Planning policy. This is largely due to the secondment of a member of staff to the Strategic Housing Unit.
Other differences between 2014 and 2013 included a review of the Island Plan which was funded from central contingencies, additional work on the 3D map of St Helier, and costs associated with the Countryside Infrastructure capital head of expenditure that were revenue in nature.

Planning and Building
Planning and Building is made up of three main sections:
Development Control – responsible for the regulation
of the development and use of land in the Island. This involves the consideration of development plans in
line with established policies including the Island Plan, Planning Guidance and comments from interested parties, as well as investigating and enforcing controls regarding planning and building legislation.
Building Control – sets and monitors the standards for the design and construction of buildings in the Island, ensuring that they are safe, healthy, accessible and sustainable for current and future generations.
Policy, Projects and the Historic Environment – responsible for the development and maintenance of
the Island Plan, the policy framework that underpins the planning system in Jersey. This section is also responsible for the designation of buildings and places of special architectural, archaeological and historic Interest.
Environment Management and Rural Economy
The Environmental Management and Rural Economy ("EMRE") section performs various functions that support farmers, growers, the dairy and agriculture industries and other government departments, including both advisory and scientific services.
As well as this, this section protects and champions the Island's biodiversity, marine resources and ecosystems in line with international and local commitments.
The section also manages the 70 km of footpaths, 10 km of bridle paths, 12 car parks and access tracks, and paths that cover the 550 hectares of public land managed within the Natural Environment team's portfolio.
Also included within EMRE is the Marine Resources section, which is responsible for regulating the commercial and leisure fishing activities that take place in the 800 square miles of Jersey's waters.
Environmental Policy and Awareness
Environmental Policy and Awareness are responsible for developing environmental policy, to meet both Jersey and international requirements. One of the major achievements of the year includes the adoption by the States of Pathway 2050: An Energy Plan for Jersey.
The section is also responsible for the delivery of environmental awareness programmes, such as the Eco-Active campaign, encouraging environmentally responsible behaviour across all sectors.
This section also administers the Energy Efficiency Service, providing energy efficiency improvements to vulnerable households' in the form of direct grants and energy efficiency interventions such as loft insulation.
Other Services Near Cash by Expenditure Type
The other main areas of the Department include:
Environmental Protection – responsible for regulating the Island's use of pesticides, waste management regulation, pollution control, agricultural inspections and management of the Island's water resources.
Veterinary Services – responsible for promoting animal health and welfare practices across all sectors, as well as the control and prevention of notifiable animal diseases.
Meteorological Services – responsible for the provision of meteorological services in the Channel Islands, meeting the specific requirements of the Airports and Harbours in both Jersey and Guernsey.

Bathing and Drinking Water Quality
MTFP ObjecTive
Manage and regulate the natural and built up environment.
PerFOrMance
Bathing Water – Bathing water quality is measured weekly at 16 coastal sites between mid-May and the end of September (20 weeks). In 2014 all 16 bathing waters passed the mandatory European Imperative Standard and 13 bathing waters (81.25%) passed the stricter European Guideline Standard. Guideline compliance was slightly lower compared with the 2013 bathing water season
and might be explained by the slightly higher rainfall experienced during the 2014 bathing water season.
Drinking Water – Approximately 14,000 water quality analyses were carried out during 2014 for compliance purposes from the supply points and within the supply zone. 99.99% of these analyses complied with the Water (Jersey) Law 1972, which is a slight increase compared with 99.84% compliance in 2013.

£22.3 £30.1 £24.9
million million million
Total income received in 2014 has increased by £7.8 million.
The increase compared to last year is due to the reinstatement of Health Insurance Fund (HIF) income (£4.0 million), introduction of the Long Term Care Benefit (£2.8 million) and increased income from patient charges and other income streams (£1.0 million).
In 2012 the States of Jersey approved P82/2012 Health and Social Services: A New Way Forward'. This set out
a transformation programme, for which the funding for phase 1 was approved in the MTFP. The timing of the implementation of full P82/2012 service initiatives, along with challenges in the recruitment of specialised staff into mental health services have resulted in an underspend of £4.3 million (against a total budget of £8.9 million).
In 2014 the Department was allocated an additional £0.8 million procurement savings target. In order to meet this
requirement a decision was taken to offset this against P82/2012 underspends in 2014 in order to allow time to develop recurrent plans for delivering the savings.
In 2012, £0.3 million was transferred to H&SS to commission a review of Primary Care services in accordance with P82/2012. This was unspent in 2013 and carried forward. Work is ongoing with Primary Care providers to progress this work and at the end of 2014 £0.2 million remained unspent.
Other variances are for minor underspends on ring fenced allocations for Public Sector Reform, minor operational overspends and unspent 2013 carry forwards.

Staffing
At the year end the department employed the equivalent of 2,435.8 full time employees. This is an increase of 56.5 (2.4%) from 2013, and is due to investment in nursing establishment and the infrastructure of new services as described in P82/2012.
Fixed Assets
The department holds fixed assets with a value of £10.8 million.
It also holds current assets and liabilities relating to the day-to-day operation of the department such as Trade Receivables and Trade Payables.
The cost of using Fixed Assets is recorded through Non- Cash Expenditure as a depreciation charge.
NON CASH EXPENDITURE

Net Revenue Expenditure (NRE) has increased by
£9.9 million in 2014 compared to 2013. The main drivers for the increase are outlined below.
A 4% pay award was awarded in 2014. The additional spend on pay as a result was £5.0 million.
Funding was included in the MTFP for transformational service change in line with P82/2012 and the £2.1 million highlighted above was the result of the investment in specialist palliative care, rapid response and reablement, early intervention in children's services, talking therapies and other planned changes.
|
£4.0 million additional funding was received from the Health Insurance Fund (HIF) as agreed in the MTFP to meet the cost of primary care services provided and commissioned by H&SS.
There has been increased spend on the number of overseas mental health secure placements. These have been funded through a grant from the Criminal Offences Confiscation Fund of £0.7 million.
Other charges increased by £4.3 million of which £2.8 million relates to the introduction of Long Term Care Benefit which saw income received by the department and the corresponding amount paid to Social Security as a contribution into the Long Term Care Fund. This was planned and agreed with the Social Security Department and the Treasury & Resources Department in 2013, but had not been finalised at the time of the MTFP. Other charges relate to a £1.3 million increase in private patient activity which is offset by increased costs of delivery, and other minor increases in income.
In line with approvals in the MTFP, there was a further investment in nursing and medical staffing of £1.5 million to ensure that safe standards of care can be maintained.
The Department continues to face significant demand
to maintain and improve standards and manage the increasing cost of healthcare services. In total a further £3.3 million was invested from a combination of healthcare inflation funding and carry forward funding to support these increasing costs. Costs managed in 2014 included:
• Investment in Voluntary & Community Sector (£0.6 million)
• Medical supplies, equipment and IT (£1.0 million)
• Medical insurance and claims (£0.6 million)
• Waiting list investment in key posts (£0.5 million)
H&SS has been at the forefront of the States Reform programme by leading the introduction of the Jersey Lean Scheme. A Reform team was funded non-recurrently for 2014 and 2015 to kick start the programme.

Public Health
Public Health delivers childhood immunisation programmes, environmental health services, health promotion programmes (such as the Help 2 Quit programme) and regulates the island's professional care providers.
A range of childhood vaccinations are supported by
the department in line with UK guidelines. In 2014 new vaccines were introduced including vaccines for rotavirus, whooping cough and flu.
The environmental health team is responsible for a wide range of public protection and community health duties including training, licensing and inspection of food outlets, investigation of pollution and statutory nuisances, and providing a range of advice. During the year the Eat Safe Scheme was launched which rates food businesses on their hygiene standards. This scheme provides Islanders and visitors with peace of mind and encourages food outlets to improve and maintain high standards of hygiene.
Hospital Inpatient Services & Theatres
Hospital inpatient services provide surgical and medical care and include theatres and wards for medical, surgical, maternity and paediatric patients, and clinical support services.
This service performed approximately 5,700 main
theatre procedures in 2014 (2.5% higher than 2013) and managed approximately 11,950 inpatient episodes of care (medical and surgical). 983 babies were delivered in 2014 compared to 1,027 in 2013.
There has been a significant increase in diagnostic activity in 2014, with an overall 4% increase in scans and 6% increase in tests. There were 71,000 X-rays, 10,720 CT scans and 7,700 MRI scans in 2014. Over 2.3 million tests were performed in 2014.
Overall the Hospital employed 670 nurses at the end of 2014 and 174 medical staff.
During 2014 a refurbishment of Bartlett Ward was undertaken. In September work was completed on a £3.0 million oncology project to provide a better quality
of facilities and environment for patients in Jersey who require chemotherapy and associated treatments. As well as providing increased capacity, the new facilities lend themselves to further development of other treatments which previously would have had to be delivered off- Island. For example it is now possible to treat newly- diagnosed lymphoma patients, who historically had to go off-island for treatment.
There was a significant investment in staffing in the hospital in 2014, including additional nursing staff for ICU and other wards and an investment in radiology staffing to improve waiting times for scans.
Unscheduled and Emergency care (including Ambulance Services)
This service line includes the Emergency Department, Ambulance Service, Emergency Assessment Unit (EAU) and GP out of hours service.
In 2014 the Ambulance service completed 9,250 emergency journeys and a further 16,500 journeys were undertaken by the Patient Transport Service.
In September an intermediary paramedic crew was established on a trial basis to assist with patient discharges. The crew of two staff dealt with ward discharges via stretcher, charter flights and other patient discharges. It also covered low acuity calls (green level emergency calls) and acted as a first response crew.
There were 37,880 Emergency Department attendances in 2014. This is 6% higher than 2013.
During the year investment was made into Emergency Department staffing to improve weekend and out of hours cover ensuring that waiting times are minimised at peak times.
The Emergency Department took part in the 2014 Picker survey (patient survey) with many positive results including:
• 99% of respondents said that the department was clean
• 97% reported a swift handover from Ambulance staff to the Emergency Department
• 95% waited less than two hours to be examined
• 93% received test results before they went home
Tertiary Care
H&SS spends approximately £10.0 million every year on specialist treatments and services provided in the UK. This includes radiotherapy services as well as a range of specialist care not available on island.
In 2014 H&SS referred 2,400 patients for off-island treatment resulting in 3,400 appointments. Approximately 60% of these appointments were outpatient attendances.
The services provided off-island include consultations, diagnostic tests, treatment and follow ups for a range of healthcare requirements that cannot be provided on island.
In 2014 a new contract was agreed for Cardiology services. A contract for Urology services has also been tendered.
In addition to the amount the department spends with off-island healthcare providers, a further £1.4 million was spent in 2014 on subsidised travel arrangements for islanders.
Day Stay and Outpatient Services
The speciality services provided in day stay and outpatient services include oncology, neurology, cardiology, diabetes care, renal care, dermatology, ophthalmology, pharmacy and dental services.
This service provided 182,000 outpatient appointments in 2014 (up by 1% from 2013), including both new consultations (23%) and follow up appointments for patients after they have received treatment (77%). Approximately 8% of these appointments are missed
by patients although this rate has reduced since the introduction of the text reminder system.
In 2014 the pharmacy dispensed 112,870 items to outpatients in addition to 79,840 items for patients being discharged. The pharmacy also supplied 257,820 items to wards and 3,500 chemotherapy treatments. There has been a rise of 38% in on-island chemotherapy treatment compared to 2013.
A range of procedures are carried out in day surgery and outpatients including ophthalmology, fertility treatment, renal, dermatology, audiology and endoscopy. In 2014 5,200 day surgery and 4,590 endoscopy procedures were carried out.
In 2014 a new outpatient procedure was introduced for patients with lung conditions to screen for lung cancer or other lung diseases. This was previously unavailable in Jersey and its introduction means that patients who would have had to travel to the UK can now be treated locally.
In addition the gynaecological department are now able to offer women a procedure called a hysteroscopy as an outpatient appointment rather than as an inpatient. Since the transfer to outpatients, 176 women have undergone the procedure and there is no longer a waiting list.
Community – Adults' and Older Adults' Services (including Therapy Services)
These services provide social care and services to adults and older people within the community. This includes those individuals with mental health problems and special needs. The service also provides care for those affected by alcohol and drugs, and works with third party organisations such as Shelter Trust and the Citizen's Advice Bureau.
In 2014 H&SS provided 61 continuing care beds for older adults at the Limes and Sandybrook and a further 42 beds for long term mental health care at Rosewood House.
Clinique Pinel, a facility for older adults with mental health issues, reopened in July following a 12 month £3.0 million refurbishment programme. The refurbished building provides two in-patient wards offering a total of 25 acute assessment and treatment beds.
The service also provides 1,600 speech and language therapy appointments each year and supports approximately 870 patients through the Occupational Therapy service.
|
There are 32 special needs clients in residential services as well as a further 88 clients supported in the community.
There are on average 115 clients on the methadone programme and approximately 140,000 needles are issued each year through the needle exchange.
As part of the redesign of health and social care, Jersey Talking Therapies (JTT) was launched in September. This is a joint project between Health and Social Services, GPs and the charity MIND and enables adults suffering from common mental health issues to talk to professional therapists either in their doctor's surgery, at a central hub in St Helier, or over the phone.
In 2014 there were 680 referrals to the psychology department prior to the launch of JTT and a further 775 referrals after the start of the service.
As one of the P82/2012 (White Paper) initiatives, and in partnership with Jersey Hospice Care, the department has invested £0.8 million in a new specialist palliative care team to work with those who require end of life care in Jersey. The new specialist palliative care team delivers Island-wide support, care, advice and symptom control for patients with any life-limiting progressive diseases or conditions with specific palliative care needs.
Community – Children's Services
Children's Services includes residential facilities and day services, mental health services, support services and fostering and adoption.
At the end of 2014 there were 92 looked after children supported by Children's Services of whom 15 are supported in overseas placements.
The service provides 6,400 speech and language therapy appointments a year.
Approximately 440 children are referred to the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) each year.
During the year £250,000 has been invested in community short breaks for disabled children and young people as part of the transformation of health and social services. These breaks provide an opportunity for the young person to meet new people and participate in activities, while also providing a valuable break from caring responsibilities for parents and carers.
Oakwell children's respite centre has been extensively refurbished in the year at a cost of £840,000. The facility offers a 24 hour a day service for families and can provide weekend breaks, holiday care, accompaniment to hospital appointments, short breaks and nursing care.

The majority of the department's expenditure budget (61%) is spent on staff. Of this 92% is spent on staff working predominantly with patients (nurses, doctors, allied health professionals etc) or who provide support services such as catering, cleaning, engineering and portering. The total spend on staff has increased by 6.6% in comparison to 2013 as a result of pay awards, investment in new services for patients and additional nursing staff in the hospital and community.
The department also commissions a range of services from external suppliers including UK hospitals and other healthcare facilities, local care service providers, and the voluntary and community sector in Jersey. In total this accounts for approximately £25.4 million of departmental spend on supplies and services. There has been a 12.4% increase in spend on these services in 2014 compared to 2013 (£2.8 million) as a result of the introduction of new services such as the Specialist Palliative Care service and the Rapid Response team.
- What we have achieved
Public Health – Childhood Immunisation Rates Performance
Childhood vaccinations are a key part of the island's public health strategy. It is important to achieve a good level of coverage to ensure that island wide immunity to disease is maintained.
The department has worked with GPs to make pre-school immunisations as accessible as possible for Jersey parents and the public health team helps busy parents by sending them reminders when their children's vaccinations are due.

Hospital Inpatient Services – Hospital Infection Rates
The rate of hospital acquired infections is a measure of safety and effectiveness for the hospital.
Additional funding has been allocated in the year for infection control staffing and new equipment which has ensured infection rates remain lower than the NHS.
This has a direct positive outcome for patients, and reflects effective infection control measures in the hospital.
• A Lean review of the phlebotomy service has reduced the average waiting time for a blood test from 45 minutes to 32 minutes and the maximum waiting time has gone down from 120 minutes to 90.
In addition waiting lists in physiotherapy have fallen as part of key waiting list initiatives.
Total outpatients required to wait longer than 90 days for a hospital appointment has fallen from 32.4% to 30.1% in 2014.

Day Stay and Outpatient Services – Waiting Times
There have been a number of key actions during the year which have reduced waiting times:
• P82/2012 funding into the pulmonary rehabilitation clinic means that waiting times for the clinic has reduced from 14 months to 12 weeks. Data gathered from the pulmonary rehabilitation clinics show that, apart from illness, patients are not dropping out of the clinics and their health is improving.
• A ward based flexible cystoscopy clinic has been established. Previously these were being performed as a day patient procedure. This has reduced waiting times and has also improved the patient experience as procedures are carried out in a small clinic on the private wing and take less than one hour.
There have been a number of key actions during the year which have reduced waiting times:
• Two ophthalmology consultants have been recruited into vacant posts in year and one breast surgeon was appointed at the end of 2013;
• There has been funding for an additional Trauma and Orthopaedics locum consultant and a new Urology consultant has started during the year which has provided better continuity of urological care and has also reduced waiting time for urological procedures;
• 4 additional radiology posts have been recruited to.
The number of inpatients waiting longer than 90 days has decreased from 425 in December 2013 to 398 in December 2014, a reduction of 6.4%.

– Waiting times for initial assessment for mental health patients
The introduction of Jersey Talking Therapies has had a significant role in reducing the length of time patients wait for therapy in spite of a significant increase in the number of referrals due to the introduction of the service.
Prior to the introduction of JTT there was an average waiting time of 16–20 weeks for an assessment appointment and up to 9 months for therapy. Since the introduction of the service waiting times for initial contact is 14 working days with an assessment 2–4 weeks later. Therapy waiting times have been cut to a maximum of 10 weeks for those with mild to moderate difficulties who are able to access the JTT service.
At the end of 2013 a new umbrella partnership was set up to coordinate safeguarding concerns for children and young people.
The Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) is made up of representatives from a number of States' departments and other agencies to provide a single contact point for members of the public, families or professionals to discuss any concerns that they may have.
The Jersey MASH involves:
• States of Jersey Police
• Health and Social Services / The Children's Service
• Education, Sport and Culture
• Family Nursing and Home Care
By bringing these different agencies together in one place, it ensures that information is shared as early as possible with responses being timely and coordinated.
As such this has had a positive direct impact on the timing of allocation of social work cases.
Performance Measure
There was a 39% decrease in the number of unallocated social work cases in the second half of 2014.

New Services – introduction of Phase 1 as set out in P82/2012
P82/2012 Health and Social Services: A New Way Forward' was approved by the States in October 2012. This was based on a White Paper and public consultation and set out a ten year transition plan to improve health and social services and enable the service to be fit to meet the demands of an ageing population. Phase 1 of this plan was due to be implemented in the period 2013–2015.
In phase 1 it was planned that 7 key workstreams would be delivered, which was split down into 26 service specifications. Of these 24 (92%) had implementation plans and had commenced by the end of 2014. The remaining two have been delayed due to a need to revisit the evidence base for the proposed services.
Overall this represents a high level of achievement in delivering services that were proposed for phase 1. In 2015 these services will be taken forward and developed in preparation for starting work on phase 2.

The Department's NRE reduced by £12.7 million between 2013 and 2014, a reduction of 27.0%. However, this was mainly due to income received from the COCF and DTCF as detailed under Departmental Income.
Excluding the income that was subsequently transferred to the Police Headquarters Relocation project, the Department's NRE increased by £2.1 million between 2013 and 2014, an increase of 4.4% mainly due to the 2014 consolidated pay award of 4%.
While there are significant changes in some individual areas, expenditure on Services has not changed significantly between 2013 and 2014 after taking into account the impact of the 2014 pay award.

States of Jersey Police
The States of Jersey Police is here to support an Island where residents, businesses and visitors are safe and feel secure.
The overall crime levels for 2014 remain broadly similar to 2013. Whilst overall crime levels may have remained broadly the same, Police activity has increased considerably in non-crime areas – in particular with missing persons and dealing with concerns for people's welfare – reinforcing our broader responsibility towards community safety. Community policing is an essential platform to help us to better understand local issues and concerns, and ensure all sections of our community have a voice and can be heard.
Increased partnership working is a key element of the community policing model, which was revised in 2014, and focusses on areas such as anti-social behaviour which seek to maximise benefits from early intervention with young people with, for example, participation in sports events. Further work is also ongoing with parties such as the Youth Service, Street Pastors, Building a Safer Society (BaSS) and the Safer St. Helier Partnership.
In 2014, the Police Authority was fully constituted and has focused primarily on its relationship with the States of Jersey Police in order to get a thorough understanding of the work of that organisation and the challenges it faces.
Jersey Prison Service
HM Prison La Moye provides a healthy, safe, secure and stimulating environment for all who live and work within the Prison. Prisoners are encouraged to address their offending behaviour and to become involved in education and work-related training, which will enable them to live a law-abiding and purposeful life in custody and after release.
Supportive relationships with families are facilitated in order to maintain the positive links that will ensure a successful return to the community. In partnership with other agencies, the Prison provides effective ways to reduce crime and its resultant social and economic costs.
Jersey Fire and Rescue Service
The States of Jersey Fire and Rescue Service is the States' lead department for responding to, and reducing, fires and other emergencies. This is achieved through an Integrated Risk Management Plan (IRMP) that uses the following proactive and reactive strategies:
• Prevention (community safety education and engagement);
• Protection (fire safety regulation and enforcement);
• Preparation (emergency planning, training and exercising);
• Response (responding to and dealing with a wide range of fire and other emergencies).
The Service closely resembles UK Fire and Rescue Services in every aspect other than scale.
Jersey Customs and Immigration Service
The Customs and Immigration Service is committed to providing a strong and effective border control in order to protect Jersey from the threats of:
• illegal immigration and the movement of prohibited or restricted goods, and
• loss of government revenue from evasion of the Customs and Excise duties and import GST;
whilst honouring the Island's external Customs, Immigration, Passport and Nationality obligations and, wherever practical, meeting the principles of free movement for people and goods.
The phased introduction of a newly designed British passport started in October 2010 in the United Kingdom. The new-style passport features various design improvements, including additional security measures.
The introduction of the new generation passport in the Crown Dependencies and centralised printing took place in February 2015. From that date, applications will continue to be accepted in Jersey but the passports,
a variant of the standard UK passport marked British Islands, Bailiwick of Jersey', will be printed in the UK.

Other Services
Other Services include the Home Affairs Executive, Jersey Field Squadron, Building a Safer Society and the Superintendent Registrar.
Home Affairs Executive
The Home Affairs Executive's function is to provide
the Policy Centre and Secretariat for the Minister and Assistant Minister for Home Affairs and the Finance and Human Resources Directorates for the whole of Home Affairs.
Jersey Field Squadron
The Jersey Field Squadron RE (M) (The Royal Militia of the Island of Jersey), is an Army Reserve Unit within the British Army Order of Battle. It is also the Island's Defence Contribution to the UK.
Building a Safer Society
Partnership working is increasingly acknowledged as generating solutions to problems that single agencies cannot solve, improving the services that users receive, and enhancing the coordination of services across organisational boundaries. Since 2005, the BaSS strategy, (and prior to this, in different guises) has been working across agencies in the public, private and voluntary sectors to provide comprehensive and workable solutions to some very serious social and community safety issues. It is an excellent example of a multi-agency commitment to co-operate in partnership to tackle serious social issues.
Community safety matters greatly to local people and the States of Jersey are committed in the Strategic Plan 2012 to provide "A Safe and Caring Community' .
Superintendent Registrar
The Office of the Superintendent Registrar oversees the accurate registration of births and deaths, marriages and civil partnerships in the Island in accordance with the Marriage and Civil Status (Jersey) Law 2001 and the Civil Partnership (Jersey) Law 2012. Other laws also have a significant bearing on the work of the office, including the Legitimacy (Jersey) Law 1973 and the Adoption (Jersey) Law 1961.
The Service is at the centre of the e-Government Tell Us Once' project being the custodian of key life event records, ie: births, deaths and marriages.

CRIME DETECTION RATES
Detected crime can be divided into two categories: sanction and non-sanction detections. If a crime has received a sanction detection it means that the offender has appeared in court or attended a parish hall enquiry. An administrative detection means the police have a suspect but the case does not progress further. An example of this would be where the victim may not wish to proceed with a prosecution.
Jersey's sanction detection rate was 37% for 2014 whilst the overall clear up' rate (sanction plus administrative

The BaSS Strategy is designed to reduce the impact on our community caused by crime, anti-social behaviour and substance misuse. To this end it provides grants to fund evidence-based initiatives in both the public and voluntary sector which meet the outcomes expected for the strategy. These initiatives are monitored and evaluated and can prove success. 50% of the grants awarded in 2014 contributed towards funding full-time posts.
The cost of providing a Fire and Rescue Service in a smaller jurisdiction where many of the same overheads need to be in place for a lower population tends to be higher. However, in the context of other small jurisdictions, Jersey's Fire and Rescue Service is slightly less expensive but one of the busiest.

Financial Inputs – Near Cash Approvals
Spending by the Department was funded by rental and other income, net of an agreed return of £10.3 million being made to the Treasury revenues.
The States approves the amount a department can spend on Revenue Expenditure during a year through the Medium Term Financial Plan. This is updated each year in the Annual Update to the Medium Term Financial Plan Annex to reflect any permanent changes in approvals since the original Medium Term Financial Plan.
Departmental Income

Income of the Department is principally from the rental of social housing stock. On the 1st April 2014 the new rental policy became effective and from that date vacated homes were re-let to new tenants at 90% of the market rate. This, coupled with an annualised increase in October 2013, contributed to a year-on-year increase for the 6 month period of £0.6 million.

The most significant adjustment to the Department's budget in 2014 was a reduction in the required return of income by £13.8 million as operations were transferred
to Andium Homes on the 1st July. The contribution to the States is being made thereafter by the new company as agreed in the Transfer Agreement dated 22nd July 2014. Other adjustments included approved carry forward of the 2013 underspend of £1.1 million for ongoing maintenance works and the Housing Transformation Programme. In addition a transfer of £1.9 million was made from the Department's capital budget to fund settlement of the Public Employees Contributory Retirement Scheme (PECRS) pre-1987 debt prior to incorporation.

Staffing
At the end of June the Department employed the equivalent of 50.8 full time employees. This is an increase of 6.6 (14.9%) from 2013, and is due to recruitment
to existing vacancies and new roles in anticipation of incorporation.

Premises and Maintenance 1,667 Staff Expenditure 201 Other Income 169 Other Variances 228
Net Underspend 2,265
The main variance for the period to 30th June arose in Premises and Maintenance. This is principally a timing variance as the scheduling of projects adapted to resource availability. The re-scheduled work transferred and continued under the management of the new company, Andium Homes. Staff costs were lower than expected principally due to vacant posts which were progressively filled in the course of transferring to the new company. Other Income represents unbudgeted income, for example recharged expenditure, which is not part of the Department's core business lines.
At the 30th June 2014 the Department held £697.7 million in non-current assets, principally assets under construction, housing stock and housing bonds. These were transferred to the new company on the 1st July 2014.
The value of housing bonds held increased by £0.6 million to £15.8 million being the net of bonds issued, redemptions of earlier bonds and a revaluation based on the House Price Index.
The Department also holds current assets and liabilities relating to the day-to-day operation of the Department such as Trade Debtors and Trade Creditors. These assets and liabilities were also transferred to Andium Homes.
The cost of using Fixed Assets is recorded through Non- Cash Expenditure.

The fixed assets held by the Department are principally social housing stock. The stock was revalued at 30th June 2014 and there was a decrease in value of £8.7 million from 31st December 2013. The valuation methodology takes account of rent levels and the condition of the stock in determining its value. The key reason for the reduction in value was the impairment of units at Le Squez and La Collette which are due for redevelopment.
The cost in 2014 of £16.5 million represents the costs of depreciation and impairment in the period, offset by the reversal of depreciation and previous impairments in the course of revaluation.

Management the existing dual role was split providing Planned Maintenance clearer identity to the two, discrete, functions.
The Planned Maintenance Team manage not only the annual cyclical maintenance but also the ongoing improvements to the Department's housing stock.
In the first 6 months of 2014 the focus on increasing the number of homes which met the Decent Homes Standard continued. Work was completed replacing 98 kitchens and 31 bathrooms and testing of electrical circuitry in 524 homes was carried out. At the end of June 75% of the stock achieved that standard.
The majority of other planned maintenance work such as building repairs and external decoration works for 2014 was carried out in the summer months and after the transfer to Andium Homes Limited.
In the first half of the year the Estates Standards Programme was launched. This initiative provides a dedicated contact within the Department for tenants
on each estate with a focus on working collaboratively with them to improve the environment in which they live. Regular visits take place to encourage two-way dialogue about how the services the Department provides and the expectations it has of its tenants can be met.
The Medical Adaptations service, through the Assisted Living Team, continued to provide a significant support to tenants enabling their homes to be adapted to meet their changing requirements due to ill-health or incapacity.
Near Cash by Expenditure Type
Response Repairs
In the first half of 2014 work was undertaken to review
the way in which the Response Repair service operated. This led to a change in supplier, a reduction in the internal resources needed to operate the service and the average cost of each repair job also fell.
These changes have enabled the Department to re-direct resources to monitoring the quality and delivery of work by the new contractor with the aim of enhancing the satisfaction of the Department's tenants.
Rent and Fee Collection
On the 1st April 2014 the Department implemented a new rent policy which had been agreed by the States Assembly as part of P33/2013. From this date the rent for properties let on new tenancies has been set at 90% of the prevailing market rate. Agreement was reached with Income Support such that claimants living in social rented accommodation were fully protected in relation to this policy.
In the 6 months to June the level of rent arrears fell from £448,000 to £379,000 (1.0% to 0.88% of forecast income). This continued improvement was achieved through proactive engagement with clients and referral to various support agencies.

This approval enabled the proposed changes to be implemented.
On the 1st July 2014 the Housing Department transferred its assets, liabilities and operations to Andium Homes Limited.
Rental arrears for current tenants fell by £69,000 from £448,000 to £379,000 in the first 6 months of the year. A reduction of 0.12% of forecast income for the year.

The States Contribution to the Long Term Care Fund was increased as set out in Addendum to P.140/2013 to fund a further contribution from the Social Security Department (SSD) benefit underspend.
Income Support underspent by £9.3 million, of which £7.1 million was a result of Weekly Benefit claim numbers being consistently lower than budgeted. At the time budgets were agreed the poor economic situation combined with the anticipated impact of the removal of
Low Value Consignment Relief resulted in budgets based on forecasts including high levels of unemployment. Actual unemployment experienced was not as severe as anticipated and was mitigated by the effects of the Back to Work teams. A further £1.8 million underspend resulted from Residential Care claimant numbers being lower than anticipated both before and after the majority of claimants were transferred to the new Long Term Care Fund.
Employment Services underspent by £1.6 million as a result of fewer employment grants than anticipated. Contingency of £1.0 million was not required as the Income Support budget was not fully spent.

Net Revenue Expenditure (NRE) reduced by £2.4 million from 2013 with a reduction in Income Support of
£7.0 million offset by an increase in the States Contributions and in Employment Services.
The net decrease in Income Support was a result of
a reduction in Residential Care spend of £7.4 million following the transfer of most claimants to the new Long Term Care Benefit which commenced payment of benefit from 1 July 2014. This was offset by an increase in Weekly Benefit of £0.9 million.
There was an increase in the States Contribution made to the Long Term Care Fund amounting to £1.7 million due
to the inclusion of 90% of what had previously been the Income Support Residential Care budget from 1 July 2014 as well as £4.6 million of the Social Security Department (SSD) underspend. The 2013 contribution was only of SSD underspend.
The States Contribution to the Social Security Fund increased by £1.5 million in accordance with the formula set by P.110/2011.
Further funds were invested in Employment Services through Back to Work and other training initiatives for those without employment amounting to £1.6 million.

Employment Services
In late 2011, existing employment support teams were brought together to form the Back to Work programme. It was established to strengthen the government's response to rising unemployment and complements our benefits system, which is designed to make work pay, and is a key part of government's strategy of getting people back to work.
The aim of the Back to Work programme is to support people who are actively seeking work back into paid employment.
Over the course of 2014, the Back to Work programme has continued to enhance its existing provision in order to provide a swift and flexible response to the needs of both jobseekers and employers. Its role is to:
• Co-ordinate the work of all government employment schemes
• Develop targeted schemes to support locally qualified jobseekers
• Build a partnership with employers to provide sustainable job opportunities for locally qualified islanders
The aim of the Back to Work programme is to get unemployed Islanders working, keep people in work and create new employment opportunities through sustainable economic growth. Employers can benefit from an increase in support and financial incentives and jobseekers have access to training and support to improve their confidence, skills and motivation to move into the workplace.
Funding is provided to the Jersey Employment Trust (JET) a charitable trust whose primary role is to assist people with a severe disability or long term health condition
to find and sustain employment. JET provides a range
of employment support services, from pre-vocational education courses, work tasters in their own vocational training areas (Acorn Enterprises and Oakfield Industries) and work experience placements in other commercial settings.
Funding is provided to the Jersey Advisory and Conciliation Service (JACS), an employment relations service that helps employers, employees and trade unions work together for the prosperity of Jersey business and the benefit of employees.
Income Support
Most of the spending on Income Support is used to provide a weekly benefit to eligible local families. Funding is also available to help with one-off costs and some households continue to receive payments based on their entitlement under the previous benefit system.
Income Support is a household benefit. The amount paid to an individual household depends on the number of people in the household, where they live, their specific needs, and the income and capital assets of the household.
Income Support is available to households in which at least one adult meets a residence test (of at least five years residence in Jersey). Income Support claimants aged 65 and above are not subject to a work test but every adult aged under 65 must meet a work test by either being in full time work or being included in an exempt category.
The Income Support system also supports individuals living in care homes who are unable to meet the full cost of their own care. In addition to assistance with the care home fees, claimants receive a personal allowance.
On 1st July 2014 the new Long Term Care scheme
was introduced and the vast majority of claimants were transferred to the LTC benefit. As a result expenditure in 2014 on Residential care was approximately half of that spent in 2013.
Other Benefits
The Health and Safety Inspectorate carries out a wide range of activities aimed at ensuring that people at work and others who could be affected by working activities are not exposed to risks to their health or safety.
The Christmas Bonus is a lump sum benefit of £83.73 (in 2014) that is paid to those who receive an Old Age Pension or certain other benefits.
The Food Costs Bonus is payable to any household that has an income too high to qualify for Income Support but too low to pay Income Tax.
The Cold Weather Bonus eligibility criteria are the same as the Food Costs Bonus, except that it is only payable to households with at least one adult aged 65 years or over who is receiving a Jersey old-age pension or has lived in Jersey for 10 years.
The Jersey 65+ Health Scheme subsidises dental, optical and chiropody costs and is available to those pensioners who do not pay income tax and have relatively low savings.
People aged over 75 on low incomes qualify for a payment equivalent to the cost of a full TV licence.

and includes recharges to Ports of Jersey for the Harbours engineering service, cleaning and parks and gardens sections, capital projects for works undertaken in connection with civil works, highways and project management teams.
In 2014, higher than expected inert waste tipping generated income substantially in excess of budget, however, this was offset by poor returns from generation of electricity at the EFW plant, due to lower than expected unit rates received.
Other Variances 909 Net Underspend 2,039
Tipping fee income in 2014 was £1.2 million greater than budgeted, mainly due to several large construction projects which resulted in a substantial amount of inert waste being delivered to La Collette waste disposal site.
The carry forward from 2013 in relation to the long term disposal of asbestos remained unspent at the year end, as a result of a review of the disposal options being required following the planning permission granted in 2013 requiring the waste to be extracted from the ground after 5 years (which is believed to be technically difficult, expensive and potentially hazardous).
The unit rate received for electricity generated by the EFW
plant remains disappointingly low, resulting in a shortfall NON CASH EXPENDITURE
against budget of £1.3 million.

An exercise to identify and separate the accounting for the component parts of the Energy from Waste plant resulted in a significant re-evaluation of useful economic lives of the component parts. As a result of this, a one-off charge in respect of those assets resulted in additional non-cash expenditure of £11.6 million in 2014. In addition, annual depreciation charges were re-evaluated and increased to take account of the new expected lives of the component parts.

Following the review of disposal options for Air Pollution Control residues (APCr), the department commenced export of the legacy APCr in May 2014. By the end of the year, 8,151 tonnes of APCr had been exported at a cost of almost £1.6 million, leaving 2,000–3,000 tonnes to be exported during early 2015. Newly produced APCr from the EFW plant is exported as it is produced and will no longer be stored in large quantities at La Collette.
Solid waste tipping fees had seen a steady decline
in recent years, with 2013 being a notable exception. However, two major schemes requiring substantial dig- out of material resulted in almost £0.5 million additional income compared to 2013 (which in itself was higher than expected). It is not considered that this trend will

continue in the long term, although projects including the Esplanade Quarter will contribute to overall waste received.
2013 was the first year of the new bus contract with CT Plus (Jersey) Ltd and one-off up-front funding of £0.4 million was paid under contract in 2013.

Operational Services: Waste
The Operational Services: Waste division of TTS manages the solid and liquid waste infrastructure of the Island, including the Energy from Waste Plant (EFW), Sewage Treatment Works (STW), drainage network and pumping stations.
During the course of 2014 significant progress was made on the liquid waste strategy for the Island in conjunction with the Department of the Environment, culminating in the States approval of P39/2014 "Waste Water Strategy" in May 2014. The strategy sets out the future plans
for replacement of the ageing STW at Bellozanne and ultimately the drainage infrastructure improvements around the Island.
The department processes in excess of 70,000 tonnes of waste through the EFW plant at La Collette annually, and the resultant Air Pollution Control residues (APCr) had until 2014 been stored in a high integrity cell at La Collette. During the year the department secured permission to export the APCr material for off-Island treatment and disposal and by the year end 8,151 tonnes of material
had been exported. The remaining legacy APCr will be exported during 2015 and ongoing APCr will be exported as it is produced.
Recycling of various materials continued during the year, with a particular focus on metals, batteries and other potentially harmful waste streams such as Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).
The Operational Services: Municipals division is mainly concerned with rechargeable and public services such as cleaning, Parks and Gardens and the Ports of Jersey harbour maintenance contract.
During 2014 the department won Green Flags for its work at Coronation Park and Sir Winston Churchill Memorial Park. These prestigious awards are made by "Keep Britain Tidy" and recognise the hard work carried out by the
staff and management of the Parks and Gardens section. The section also works for a number of other States departments including Education, Sport and Culture, Housing/Andium Homes Limited and Ports of Jersey.
The cleaning section also undertakes work for a number of States departments, mainly Jersey Property Holdings and Housing/Andium Homes Limited, as well as cleaning the public highways, promenades, beaches and public areas.
Engineering and Highways
During 2014 the Engineering and Highways teams dealt with a large amount of storm damage that took place in the early part of the year. A major project to re-instate a section of sea wall at Le Bourg was funded from the States Insurance Fund, whilst the remaining costs of the damage were funded from the infrastructure capital programme.
The resurfacing of La Grande Route de St Jean was completed in 2014, as well as the first of the village enhancement schemes at St Aubin.
In addition to major resurfacing schemes, the department also has a programme of highways inspection, monitoring and repair. In 2014, 2,835 patches, potholes and repairs were undertaken on the main roads in the Island.
Many of the issues with the condition of the main roads stem from trench reinstatement and works by the various utility companies on the Island. Inevitably, breaking
into the surface of the highway and reinstatement is never going to be as good as the original surface, and weathering and settlement reduce the ride quality and structure of the road. The department continues to work with the utility companies to minimise the inconvenience to the motoring public whilst ensuring that the Island's essential power, drainage and water networks are maintained appropriately.
Transport
The Transport section includes the Driver and Vehicle Standards department (DVS), Transport planning and advice and the bus contract management and subsidy.
DVS is responsible for the regulation of drivers, vehicles and public service licenses for taxi and bus drivers. The department aims to recover its costs through charges for driving tests, registration of vehicles and testing and regulation of public service and heavy goods drivers and vehicles.
The bus service contract with CT Plus (Jersey) Ltd
is producing benefits for the travelling public, as demonstrated by the increasing ridership (up 11% in 2014). In addition, the contract also achieves savings for the States and investment in the community through HCT Group's corporate structure which has community benefits as a strategic objective.
The section is responsible for the States Sustainable Transport Policy (STP) development and implementation. Developments include STP funding for additional bus stops, cycle routes, pedestrian safety schemes and enhancement to the bus network, all contributing to encouraging "modal change" (encouraging the motoring public to reduce reliance on private cars and seek alternative forms of transport).

The major cost incurred by the department relates to staff costs. Many of these staff are involved in work for other sections, States departments and incorporated bodies
in addition to their work on running and maintaining the essential infrastructure of the Island.
Spend by the department on supplies and services includes materials, chemicals, hired services including waste disposal costs and transport costs including vehicle hire and lease and the bus contract.
Premises and Maintenance costs account for most of the remaining spend by the department and includes external service agreements and in-house maintenance work
by the department's staff. In addition, the department spent in excess of £1.6 million on electricity, of which approximately £1.1 million relates to the liquid waste operational areas of the STW and pumping stations.

There was a 4.6% increase in the volume of sewage
the network pumped and conveyed to Bellozanne for treatment. This continues the upward trend and is due to the rise in population and rainfall.
The treated effluent passed the requirements set by
the Waste Regulator with regard to suspended solids, chemical oxygen demand and biochemical oxygen demand but failed to meet the total nitrogen standard (this does not represent a risk to health).

The major drainage project at Philips Street was completed by the end of 2014 and will greatly reduce
the risk of flooding in the West's Centre area of town. It will also reduce the amount of waste water coming to Bellozanne for treatment as it provides separation for rain water from foul sewage.
The Waste Water Strategy was finalised and approved by the States which plans for the much needed replacement of the existing Bellozanne Sewage Treatment Works with a more efficient and effective plant.
Construction continued on the Sludge Digester which is due to be commissioned in June 2015.
Travel – The volume of traffic and methods of transport
MTFP ObjecTive
Sustainable on-Island transport for Jersey
PerFOrMance
Congestion is not currently measured in Jersey, however the information obtained from the Jersey Annual Social Survey on the way people travel to work gives a year on year indication on the level of car use in the Island.
The figures show what people stated was their normal mode of travel and this showed no significant change from previous years. However, bus passenger numbers are up by 11% on the previous year, which may indicate that more people are occasionally switching to bus use.
Another indicator is traffic flow counts which are monitored automatically on 9 main routes for vehicles heading towards St Helier. It can be seen that the total number of vehicles on those key routes has reduced between 2009 and 2014 (3.1% over 5 years).

The initial years of implementation of the Sustainable Transport Policy have been focussed on enabling change to more sustainable modes of transport to happen. In 2014, progress was made on both the extension to the Eastern Cycle Network and the St Peter's Valley shared footway/cycle path. These are both commencing work on site in 2015.
Continued improvements have been made to the bus service which has been reflected in the patronage. TTS also installed 12 additional bus shelters in 2014.
To support pedestrians, TTS has undertaken the installation of pedestrian refuges and the village improvement scheme in St Aubin's has incorporated safer crossing facilities for pedestrians.
TTS also actively promotes cycling and walking both in schools with Green Travel Fortnight and to the general public with Cycle Challenge Jersey

The Treasury and Resources Department net revenue expenditure increased from 2013 by £1.1 million overall.
Jersey Property Holdings had a net increase in expenditure of £1.7 million from 2013 to 2014. The main reasons were an increase of backlog maintenance works and works procured for other departments on their behalf and recharged transfers of budget and actual expenditure from capital to revenue. This was partly offset by a net reduction in staff costs as a result of the application of Treasury policy for allocating departmental staff time to capital projects and the increase in staff for major projects.
Taxes Office had a net increase of £0.4 million principally due to increased staff costs and also due to increased software maintenance and development costs mainly within the TTP and LTC projects.
Insurance expenditure decreased from 2013 by
£0.5 million due to a decrease in ex-gratia payments in relation to the Historic Abuse Redress Scheme.
Other variances, being the net effect of all other variances across the Treasury and Resources Department, were lower than in 2013 by £0.5 million. The main reason
for the decrease was lower expenditure incurred within the Corporate Procurement Service area due to the Procurement Transformation project which spans more than one year offset against smaller increases within Pensions and States Treasury.

Jersey Property Holdings
JPH was established in 2005 by a States proposition and is designed to act as the Landlord function for the states of Jersey property portfolio, which comprises a diverse spectrum of property assets, occupied by various departments and external business and private tenants.
JPH procure and manage maintenance and projects' works as well as provide other professional support to the delivery of other property related disciplines, such as Office Rationalisation, Estates and Asset Management.
JPH's activity is focused on the following key areas:
To provide fit for purpose and affordable accommodation that meets operational requirements, supports the delivery of improved services to the Public whilst being safe, legally compliant and environmentally supportive of the activity it houses. This is achieved through the ongoing maintenance and facilities management requirements of the States property portfolio and the delivery of capital replacement and improvement works.
To progress a phased programme of rationalisation
and consolidation of the States property portfolio, with the objective of reducing cost to the Public of property ownership; enabling greater efficiency of occupation; and to release latent assets for alternative use or disposal.
To seek to maximise rental income from those properties within the Public estate that are let on commercial terms to third parties.
To maintain and preserve the Public realm and administer land held in Public ownership for non-commercial uses, such as environmental protection, and enjoyment by the Public in line with the requirements of the Island Plan.
Corporate Procurement
Corporate Procurement provide professional advice to all States' departments, with the main objective of supporting departments to deliver improved, cost-effective and efficient public services for the people of Jersey.
The department is responsible for the implementation of a procurement strategy and plan to deliver Corporate and departmental procurement projects that will deliver cash and efficiency savings across the States.
The planned and co-ordinated approach to professional procurement in which value is leveraged through aggregation of demand and standardisation, where appropriate, can assist in the delivery of modern and efficient services at a sustainable cost.
In addition Corporate Procurement seek to improve procurement skills at departmental and operational
levels and promote best practice with regard to supplier management and development of local suppliers' capacity.
The department is currently in the process of completing its transformation programme which began in 2011 and has updated procurement best practice guidance available on the States intranet in line with the Comptroller and Auditor General's recommendations.
During 2014 the implementation of Supply Jersey, a modern online web based procurement to payment system, commenced. This will be rolled out to all States Departments during 2015 and will improve compliance with Financial Directions, improve user satisfaction by making catalogues of goods and services available online, improve the payment processes leading to reduced payment times for suppliers and through better management information lead to improved purchasing efficiencies and effectiveness.
Insurance
The Treasury and Resources Department effectively manages insurance risks and makes use of improved contract terms.
The Department arranges insurance on behalf of other States Departments and manages any self-insurance arrangements, through the Insurance Fund.
Pensions
Pensions within the States Treasury Department relate to public sector pensions. This includes payments to pensioners under the Pre-1967 Scheme and to Pre-1987 Public Employees Contribution Retirement Schemes past service liabilities.
Following changes made to Jersey's public sector pension arrangements in 1987, PECRS took on the liability for paying increases to pensions accrued in respect of service prior to the changes. Previously these increases were funded by the States on a "pay as you go" basis. While PECRS took on these additional liabilities, no additional contributions were paid into PECRS to cover this. This shortfall in the funding of the pension increases is how the "Pre-1987 Debt" arose.
To eliminate the debt the States agreed that from 1 January 2002 the employer's contribution rate of 15.6%
of pensionable earnings would essentially be split into 13.6% to cover the cost of future benefits accruing and 2% would be allocated to paying off the Pre-1987 Debt. This approach was expected to eliminate the debt over an 82 year period.
The payment towards the debt in 2013 paid by all States departments was £5.3 million and £5.4 million in 2014.

Staff Expenditure
33%
Staff Expenditure
Staff expenditure decreased from 2013 by £0.5 million and was under budget by £1.7 million.
The main reason for variances is posts being vacant during the year and higher than budgeted staff capital recharges.
A net reduction of £1.1 million in JPH revenue staff costs is as a result of the application of the policy for allocating Departmental staff time to capital projects, and the increase in staff for major projects.
Supplies and Services
Supplies and Services increased from 2013 by £0.6 million and were over budget by £1.4 million.
JPH expenditure was over budget by £1.7 million and higher than in 2013 by £1.0 million. The increase was
a result of higher costs incurred by JPH, This is largely
in relation to the professional fees associated with the increased amount of maintenance work carried out across the States portfolio, together with general increases to fees in 2014. This was offset against underspends within staff costs and premises and maintenance.
States Treasury and Corporate Procurement expenditure was under budget by £0.6 million and lower than in 2013 by £0.4 million. The decrease from 2013 was due to a decrease in costs of Supply Jersey and one off costs in 2013 relating to the issuance of the bond as part of the incorporation of Andium Homes Limited.
The underspend against 2014 budget relates to the Procurement Transformation projects which span more than one year. This was partly offset by expenditure incurred in relation to actuarial fees against nil budget.
Taxes Office expenditure was over budget by £0.2 million and increased from 2013 by £0.3 million mainly due to additional expenditure against the TTP and LTC projects.
Premises and Maintenance
Premises and Maintenance increased from 2013 by £0.3 million and was over budget by £1.0 million.
£10.1 million of premises and maintenance expenditure was incurred by JPH as mandatory, cyclical, reactive maintenance and maintenance projects performed across the States portfolio. JPH had an underspend of £0.8 million against budget due to some projects commencing later than expected.
JPH premises and maintenance costs were higher by £0.4 million compared to 2013, this was primarily due to increased maintenance project work carried out in 2014 and increased supplier rates influenced by market and RPI increases.
Premises costs included Insurance premium expenditure of £3.9 million. Insurance cost was over budget by £1.7 million and was offset against recharges to Health for the same amount.
Finance Costs
Finance Costs increased from 2013 by £0.1 million as a result of cost of living increases applied for calculating Pensions Pre-1987 debt repayments.
Finance costs were under budget by £1.5 million in
2014 due to an additional £1.0 million allocated for early repayments of the Pre-1987 debt but transferred back to Contingency in accordance with the approved 2015 States Budget in order to assist balancing the Consolidated Fund and £0.5 million as a result of lower than expected 2014 indexation and carry forwards from 2013.
Other Expenditure
Other expenditure increased from 2013 by £0.5 million and was over budget by the same amount.
The increase from 2013 and against budget was mainly due to higher rechargeable works costs incurred by JPH on behalf of other departments and the one-off budget transfers from capital to revenue in order to ensure correct accounting treatment under the Jersey Financial Reporting Manual (JFReM), this was partly offset by lower than previous ex-gratia payments in relation to the Historic Abuse Redress Scheme.

2014. Disposal receipts are returned to the Consolidated acTiOnS Taken by DeParTMenT in The year Fund to support the future capital investment programmes.
JPH maintains yearly rent reviews ensuring properties are managed in line with Retail and Market Indexed rates. JPH carried out a review of its licenced operators (e.g. the telecommunications companies) increasing Licenses in line with the 2014 market rates.
Cash Flow and Investments Management
MTFP ObjecTive
Key objective 4: Efficient and effective Treasury services.
Management of cash is a key aspect of effective Treasury management. In management of cash it is important to appreciate that cash is held for strategic purposes as
an investment asset class, but also for funding the day
to day operational needs of the States of Jersey. More liquid operational cash offers lower returns which could otherwise be generated by placing cash on deposit or investing in other asset classes. By improving forecasting and cash management, returns can be improved through investing cash strategically on a longer term basis or further enhanced through investment in other non-cash asset classes.
PerFOrMance
The Consolidated Fund effectively represents the States' current account, if it were a household. The holdings of the fund are illustrated in the chart below.
Improved cash management allows a higher proportion
of the fund to be invested strategically on longer term basis within the Common Investment Fund (CIF), coloured red and reduces the proportion of the fund maintained
in more liquid operational' cash, coloured blue. Further improvements have facilitated the placement of funds not expected to be required in the short term in a balanced portfolio of non-cash assets where further increases in return can be achieved.

One of the driving principles of the establishment of the CIF was to allow participants to cost effectively gain access to investment assets they would be unable to access individually. A greater range of asset classes allows participants to achieve a greater degree of
diversification across a wider opportunity set. It is important to note however that firm limits exist on both minimum as well as maximum pool size to ensure a balance between diversification and cost effectiveness.
acTiOnS Taken by DeParTMenT in The year
By the end of 2010 the CIF had been successfully established with 10 investment pools through which participants were free to pursue their individual investment strategies. In the time since inception this range of
asset classes has been expanded to include property, emerging markets, absolute return bond and passive equity pools, furthermore heavily accessed asset classes were expanded with additional managers to ensure concentration limits were not breached. Managers are under constant review to ensure they retain the confidence of the States and continue to meet their strategic aims; although focus remains on long term performance, managers who lose the confidence of the States are quickly removed and replaced to ensure participants in the CIF have the best possible opportunity to meet their strategic aims. During 2014 the one absolute return bond manager was removed and replaced with
two alternatives.
The chart below illustrates the changes made to the asset classes available through the CIF:

markets and how successfully the CIF managers perform within markets. Actions of Treasury may influence this performance and how successfully underlying strategies are implemented. Key activities of the Treasury which can enhance investment returns include, Investment Manager selection, systematic rebalancing, efficient administration and ongoing risk management. The effectiveness of Treasury is difficult to directly assess, however indirect evidence of the effectiveness of Treasury can be taken from the performance of the CIF.
PerFOrMance
During 2014 the CIF as a whole generated returns of £207 million, a rate of return, net of fees, of 8.2%; this represented both positive market conditions and good performance by the underlying investment managers. The graph below illustrates the overall performance of the CIF by indexing its rate of return back to its inception and showing these returns relative to the benchmarked returns of the market. The gap between the two lines demonstrates, net of fees, how successfully the CIF has outperformed the market.

Overall, the Non Ministerial departments were underspent against a final approved near cash budget by £2.2 million.
The Law Officers' Department were underspent by
£0.8 million, mainly due the funds transferred from the Criminal Offences Confiscation Fund for the revision of the Réglant la Procedure Criminelle spanning more than one financial year.
The Comptroller and Auditor General (C&AG) was underspent as a result of underspends carried forward from previous years as additions to the base budget. Part of the savings achieved will be used to meet the costs associated with the new governance arrangements for the Comptroller and Auditor General arising from the Comptroller & Auditor General (Jersey) Law 2014.
Viscounts Department were underspent by £0.2 million mainly due to the increased income received from fines during the year.
Court and Case Costs were underspent by £0.2 million due to the volatile nature of expenditure. It is difficult to predict costs accurately in advance, and for this purpose, the £2.1 million Smoothing Reserve exists within the Criminal Offences Confiscation Fund for the Departments to call upon should it be needed.

Staffing
At the year end the Non Ministerial Departments employed the equivalent of 183.2 full time employees. This is a decrease of 3.7 (2.0%) from 2013, and is mainly due to vacant posts across the Departments not being recruited by the year end and changes in hours worked.
During 2014 there was a 0.8 FTE budget increase
in Judicial Greffe to deal with the additional Tribunal workloads and hearings from 2015 as a result of the new Discrimination (Jersey) Law 2013.
Fixed Assets
Fixed Assets within the Non Ministerial Departments consist of Software (£0.3 million) and Plant and Machinery (£0.1 million).
The Viscounts Department and Law Officers' Department both hold £0.1 million of Software. Data Protection and Viscounts Department hold Software under the course of construction totalling £0.1 million.

Law Officers' Department
The Law Officers' Department provides legal advice to the Crown and States, including Ministers and Departments, and a high quality criminal prosecution service.
As with any in-house legal department, the majority of spend is on salary and staff costs of the in-house lawyer and support team (52%). This reduces the amount spent on external lawyers at private practice rates, although due to the volume of work, using external lawyers is still a requirement. The department's external court and case costs are the second largest area of spend (37%). The hourly fee paid to external lawyers was reduced in 2010 and has been kept at the same rate since then in order to keep costs down. 2014 also included spend on the Care Inquiry, with nearly £0.4 million spent on external fees.
Judicial Greffe and Viscounts Department
The Judicial Greffe is responsible for the provision of judicial, secretarial, administrative, and interlocutory support for the Island's Courts and Tribunals. The Viscount's Department is the executive arm of the Island's Courts and of the States Assembly. The constitution
of both Departments is defined under statute in the Departments of the Judiciary and the Legislature (Jersey) Law, 1965. Unofficially, the Departments are referred to collectively as the Court Service.
During 2014, the Departments also continued to contribute towards the work of the Criminal Justice Systems Board, the Jersey Legal Information Board and a working
group to reduce expenditure on Court and Case costs (which brought in an underspend of £0.9 million for the Court Service at year end). Throughout the year, both Departments continued to maintain their Investors in People gold award status, and to work towards achieving the Customer Service Excellence award.
A new planning appeals system will be introduced in March 2015, if the States approves further changes in the current Law. These appeals will be administered by the Judicial Greffe.
Probation and After Care Service
The workload of Jersey Probation and After Care Service (JPACS) increased in 2014. Whilst crime overall continues to fall some of the types of offence which result in Court reports and supervisions have either remained static or increased. In particular the focus on encouraging the reporting of violence in domestic settings and pursuing prosecutions has resulted in a substantial increase in this area of work for JPACS.
Probation Supervision continues to help people make changes to improve their lives and reduce further
victims of crime. 68% of Probationers had reduced their likelihood of reconviction by the end of their Orders as measured by a locally validated internationally used assessment tool. Only 17.6% of Probationers were re- sentenced for re-offending or failure to comply or had
their arrest ordered by the Court pending sentence. The percentage of released prisoners remaining in contact with their supervising Probation Officer also increased
to 28%. When combined with those prisoners who were supervised by JPACS on Young Offenders Licence, Home Detention Curfew or other forms of temporary release 73% received a post release service.
Jersey Family Court Advisory Service Social Workers appeared in Court on 315 occasions during 2014 in Private Law proceedings. 2014 also saw a large increase in public law applications with 21 new applications.
Other
During the year the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 created the need for increased resources for some Non Ministerial Departments, in particular Data Protection and the Law Officers' Department.
The general election took place in 2014 which was duly administered by the Royal Court.
The States of Jersey continued to undertake a programme of public sector reform in 2014. The Non Ministerial Departments participated in various associated initiatives, including workforce modernisation, attending employee workshops and Lean Training.
This year we saw the launch of the World War I Centenary agreed Island arrangements. World War I had an enormous effect on Jersey, as approximately 20% of
the population served in the forces. In August the Bailiff Chambers led a Ceremony of Light' to mark the 100 year anniversary of the commencement of World War I. It was an occasion to reflect and remember the events 100 years ago where so many made the ultimate sacrifice.
On 17th November 2014 the Comptroller and Auditor General (Jersey) Law 2014 came into force. This resulted in some changes for the C&AG's office, including extending the C&AG's role to appoint auditors to areas where they were previously appointed by the Treasurer or a Minister and provision for the establishment by Order of a board for the Office of the C&AG. No such order has yet been made.
2015 will see the 70th Anniversary of Liberation on Jersey celebrated on the 9th of May. This will be led by the Bailiff Chambers.
2015 will also see the retirement of Sir Michael Birt as Bailiff and the swearing in of the new Bailiff Mr William Bailhache and Deputy Bailiff Mr Timothy Le Cocq.

Non Ministerial Departments main expenditure was Staff (£13.5 million). In 2014 Staff expenditure was underspent against final approved budget by £0.8 million mainly due to the additional budget (£0.5 million) allocated to the project to revise the Réglant la Procedure Criminelle which will commence in a future year. The remainder is due to vacant posts across the Departments.
Supplies and Services were underspent against final approved budget by £3.6 million mainly due to less Counsel work and Legal costs being contracted in Court and Case Costs (£2.6 million) and a planned underspend by the Comptroller and Auditor General (£0.4 million)
to allow budget to be carried forward to fund the implementation of the provisions of the Comptroller and Auditor General (Jersey) Law 2014 and the exercise to procure external audit service.
Premises and Maintenance were underspent against final approved budget by £0.2 million mainly due to refurbishment projects which will commence in future years within the Law Officers Department and Office of the Lieutenant Governor.

Law Officers' Department
Jersey was praised at the Arab Forum on Asset Recovery (AFAR III) in November 2014, attended by delegates from 40 governments and jurisdictions, for its work in asset recovery.
Further work in 2014 will lead to the signing in 2015 of an asset-sharing agreement with the United States in order to recognise the international efforts of both the US and Jersey in the fight against financial and other cross-border crimes, including the targeting of terrorism and money- laundering. Up until now asset sharing has been on a case by case basis; when the agreement is signed in 2015 it will apply to all US agencies.

Although there was a reduction in the number of questions answered in 2014 when compared to previous years this was partly as a result of the fact that it was an election year and there were therefore fewer sittings at which questions could be asked.
183 separate propositions were debated during the year in debates that lasted 190 hours and 30 minutes. This compares to the totals in recent years as follows:

The increase in the number of debates and the time taken when compared to 2013 arose because of the pressure to complete business before the elections held in 2014.

2014 GRI (648,967)
Net Income Tax was £38.3 million or 8.1% less than the 2014 budget. This was the net effect of a £39.8 million underachievement in Personal Tax offset by a £0.5 million overachievement in Business tax and £1.0 million less bad debts than budgeted
The primary reason for the shortfall in Personal Tax was an economic environment that was worse than predicted at the time of the budgets being set, having a particularly detrimental impact on employment income. Changes to the taxation of shareholder income also contributed.
GST income has not increased at the same rate as the Jersey Retail Price Index (RPI) as expected when the budgets were set. Consequently, GST income underachieved against budget by £1.7 million.
Other Income is £4.3 million or 12.1% higher than budgeted, primarily as a result of investment income of £4.9 million over budget achieved from a higher proportion of the consolidated fund assets remaining in the Long Term Investment portfolio and therefore generating a higher rate of return. Currency surplus investments were £1.1 million higher than budgeted due to a growth in the currency in circulation, asset returns and value generated by commemorative coin issue. This was offset by a lower than budgeted dividend from JT Global and a lower
return from Andium Homes Limited as a result of agreed adjustments to the calculated base amount and RPI being lower than originally estimated.

Net Income Tax was £15.0 million less than 2013 primarily as a result of a £10 million one off Business Tax payment received in 2013 and a reduction in profits from the finance sector.
Other Income was £16.0 million higher than 2013 mainly due to the inclusion of the Andium Homes return of £13.6 million following the incorporation of the Housing Department on 1st July 2014 and an increase in investment returns achieved.
Stamp Duty was £8.6 million higher than 2013 due to an increase in the average stamp duty per property and an increase in high value property transactions.
Other variances included a £2.7 million increase in GST due to net increases in activity across sectors.

During 2014, Jersey Airport has continued to monitor customer satisfaction for various facets of the facilities. Further, Jersey Airport continues to engage with various user groups to ensure concerns can be addressed and needs assessed.
In an effort to engage more proactively with its customers and encourage their feedback, Jersey Marinas launched an inaugural satisfaction survey in February this year. Of the 1,500 surveys distributed, 445 completed ones were returned, representing a 22% response rate.
93% of Jersey boat owners with registered vessels in the Island are happy with the level of service provided by Jersey Marine Leisure staff.
Jersey Marinas plan to repeat the survey towards the end of the 2015 boating season.
During 2014 the Channel Islands Control Zone contract was successfully renegotiated for a further 3 year period, which contributes significant income to the organisation. In order to enter these negotiations Jersey Airport maintained its Single European Sky certification.

Ports of Jersey: Jersey Airport
The Ports of Jersey encompasses the Jersey Airport and Jersey Harbours Trading Operations and is consequently a vital strategic asset and an absolute necessity for the well-being of the Island's economy.

Financial Inputs – Near Cash Approvals
Spending by the department is funded wholly by revenue raised from Jersey Airport activities.
The States approves the amount of Net Revenue Income during a year through the Medium Term Financial Plan. Details of the changes are set out in the States Accounts as part of the Notes to the Statement of Outturn Against Approvals.
Additional Final Approved MTFP approval
Approvals Budget £m8illio.n0 (£0.7) £7.3
million million
The budget adjustment relates to the removal of grant income in respect of the below ground works. This adjustment to the MTFP was required following a change in accounting policy in relation to the amortisation of grants received.
Departmental Income
Actual 2013 Actual 2014 Budget 2014
£28.1 £30.2 £29.3
million million million
Aeronautical income is derived mainly from the charges generated from passenger and aircraft throughput. 2014 saw over 1.47 million passengers and 42,000 aircraft movements. This represents a 45,000 (3.2%) increase in passenger numbers over 2013.
Commercial income relates to concessional income coming from a variety of retail services offered throughout the airport.
Channel Islands Control Zone (CICZ) is income from a States contract with the French & UK governments to provide air traffic control services to aircraft passing through the CICZ.
Communication Services income comes from providing radio communication goods and services to other States departments and external customers.
Property income is derived from rentals of property assets and associated recharges.
The most significant element of other income is the investment return (interest) generated from invested trading fund balances.
The increase in income is primarily due to an improved investment return; to improve Trading Fund returns Ports of Jersey, working in conjunction with Treasury and Resources, changed from cash deposits to an investment vehicle. Although the investments have performed well the variance is mainly due to the approved budget being based on the previous returns of cash equivalents.

Near Cash Net Revenue income is the amount that Accounting Officers are held Accountable for.
Other expenditure relates to finance costs and grants. Savings have been offset by additional expenditure in relation to the Jersey Air Display. During 2014 Jersey Airport provided administration and financial support. Jersey Airport was provided a grant from the Economic Development Department to part fund this support.

Net overachievement 1,292
The variance in income is discussed in the departmental income section above.
Staff efficiency savings generated by restructuring of
Air Traffic Control and Air Traffic Engineering were not included in the original MTFP. Further staff savings
over the original MTFP are the result of the successful Harbours and Airport integration. There has also been
a drive to improve shift and rotation patterns in a bid to reduce overtime and restructuring contingencies were not called upon. It should be noted that this surplus compared to budget has occurred despite an unbudgeted 4% pay award in 2014
Operational costs consist of supplies & services, administration, premises & maintenance and other operating expenditure. The overspend is due primarily to a number of large one offs, unbudgeted maintenance projects occurring during 2014 such as the Runway Re- designation plus a provision for historical water pollution. These are somewhat offset by savings on daily and reactive maintenance costs.

Depreciation values have remained consistent with 2013 at £6.0 million. Of the additional £0.6 million of spend, £0.5 million relates to the impairment of a bungalow acquired during the year. The bungalow was acquired
to meet Civil Aviation Authority regulations in regards to airfield obstacles.
To improve Trading Fund returns, Ports of Jersey, working in conjunction with Treasury and Resources, changed from cash deposits to an investment vehicle. The new investment strategy has performed well compared to the previous returns of cash equivalents.
The increase in staff costs is due to the consolidated 4% pay award offset by savings due to actively managing vacancies and savings on overtime and shift costs from restructuring.

Jersey Airport
Jersey Airport is an essential service provider for people wishing to travel to and from the Island. Its aim is to provide an Airport that meets the economic and social needs of the Island whilst meeting the expectations of passengers and airlines by providing a safe and secure environment.
As outlined in the previous pages, year on year, the main variances for Jersey Airport are in relation to investment income gains and increased staff costs due to the consolidated 4% pay award.
Comparison to budget shows a surplus of £1.0 million, the increased investment gains were not budgeted for, as at the time of budget setting the policy had not been changed.
The 4% pay award was managed within the budget, by actively managing vacancies and savings on overtime and shift costs from restructuring.
Communications Services
Communications Services continues to provide radio communication goods and services to other States of Jersey Departments and external customers.
An error in cost allocations in 2013 has resulted in a one off benefit in terms of net revenue income for 2014, as well as a surplus compared to budget. Costs in 2014 have been scrutinised to ensure there is no material discrepancy for this year end.

Financial Inputs – Near Cash Approvals
Spending by the department is funded wholly by revenue raised from Jersey Harbour activities.
The States approves the amount of Net Revenue Expenditure during a year through the Medium Term Financial Plan. Details of the changes are set out in the States Accounts as part of the Notes to the Statement of Outturn Against Approvals.
MTFP Additional Final Approved approval Approvals Budget
Other income includes Trading Fund returns (interest) and income from Island promoting events such as the Jersey Boat Show.
Comparing to budget, two thirds of the income variance is derived from returns on investments; to improve Trading Fund returns Ports of Jersey, working in conjunction with Treasury and Resources, changed from cash deposits
to an investment vehicle. Although the investments
have performed well the variance is mainly due to the approved budget being based on the previous returns of cash equivalents. Further, resolution of outstanding rental agreements has contributed to the favourable variance against budget.

Ports of Jersey income is derived mainly from the harbour dues generated from passenger and freight throughput. There were over 786,000 sea passenger and 135,000 vehicle movements during 2014, an increase of 6% and 5% respectively over 2013. In addition 465,000 tonnes of freight, including fuel, came into and out of the Island, a slight decrease of 1% on 2013. Income is also generated from Pilotage work assisting with vessels entering and leaving the Commercial Port.
Marine Leisure income mainly comes from a diverse range of berthing spaces and ancillary services offered to local and visiting boat owners available in the St Helier marinas and outlying harbours.
Property Rentals is income generated from a wide portfolio estate of commercial and private tenants.
Near Cash Net Revenue Expenditure is the amount that Accounting Officers are held Accountable for.

Variance in income compared to budget is discussed
above in the departmental income section. NON CASH EXPENDITURE
Premises and Maintenance costs are under budget due to certain costs, mainly relating to the Service Level Agreement with Transport and Technical Services, being reclassified as supplies and services rather than premises and maintenance. Supplies and services would otherwise have been £0.3 million under budget due to the deferral of dredging maintenance costs pending a project review. The remaining variance has resulted from lower than anticipated building maintenance costs and energy costs as a result of a mild winter.
Finance costs are favourable against budget as the annual return to States of Jersey was in part reclassified to other operational costs.
The adverse variance in other costs includes the reclassified costs for return to the States of Jersey.

2014 NRI (4,465) To improve Trading Fund returns, Ports of Jersey, working
in conjunction with Treasury and Resources, changed from cash deposits to an investment vehicle. Although the investments have performed well the variance is mainly due to the approved budget being based on the previous returns of cash equivalents. This has resulted in circa £0.4 million of the income increase.
The remainder of the income increase is across the business lines. Port of Jersey realised a 6.1% increase
in passenger and a 4.5% increase in vehicle movements compared to 2013. The additional income was more than enough to offset the 1.1% fall in freight tonnage accounted for by the drop in heavy fuel deliveries following the installation of the new JEC cable. Concurrently the laying of the cable presented an opportunity for the Marine Section team to generate a new income stream for 2014 by offering their services by assisting JEC in laying the cable. One off income was generated from the sale of the replaced link span.
|
The increase year on year of the staff expenditure, is due to the consolidated 4% pay award in 2014, this has been somewhat offset by active management of staff vacancies and overtime.
Operating costs include supplies & services, administration, premises & maintenance and other operating expenditure. Year on year there have been no notable increases in individual items.
There is a favourable variance in relation to the impairment of financial assets. This is due to lower bad debt write offs in 2014 compared to 2013, where there was a significant write off in respect of a single supplier.

Port of Jersey
Port of Jersey is responsible for the administration
of harbours and territorial waters, the loading and discharging of cargo, regulation of vessel movements and the maintaining of order and control of movements of persons and vehicles on any harbour.
Port of Jersey generated a Net Revenue Income of £3.3 million compared to £2.6 million in 2013 and £2.5 million approved budget.
In terms of year on year, income has increased by
£0.3 million a result of annual price increases and increased passenger and vehicle volumes, which have offset the fall in fuel freight tonnage. Further efforts have been made to explore additional commercial activities for the Marine Section, which generated additional revenues to the tune of £0.2 million.
Direct expenditure has also reduced by £0.2 million due to the write off of a significant debt in 2013, which has not been repeated in 2014. It should also be noted that the expenditure reduction is despite the consolidated 4% pay award that occurred in 2014.
Further, overhead allocations have reduced due primarily to an increase in overhead income as a result of increased Trading Fund returns as noted previously.
Comparing to 2013 budget, the £0.7 million variance is a combination of volumes exceeding expectations, the increased use of the Duke of Normandy, by the Marine
Section, for commercial endeavours and reduced maintenance expenditure. There was significant expense included in 2013 in respect of warehouse remediations and savings on utility costs due to an unusually warm winter season. The increased returns from the changed investment strategy were also not included in the base budget as this was not anticipated at the time that budget was established.
Jersey Coastguard
Unlike other jurisdictions, Jersey Harbours is also responsible for the role of coastguard services. The Jersey Coastguard is charged with the provision of 24/7 responsibility for safer seas, along with the security and protection of our maritime environment. It also operates as the receiver of wrecks and salvage under the Shipping (Jersey) Law 2002.
Jersey Coastguard generated a Net Revenue Expense of £0.3 million compared to £0.2 million in 2013 and net revenue income of £0.1 million in the approved budget.
The £0.1 million variance, year on year, is made up of a number of smaller items, including, transition costs for the Chief Operating Officer – Marine, correction to accounting treatment for the support of cadets and, an increase in professional fees in respect of Vessel Traffic Services operator training at the Port of London, which has resulted in V103 certification under IALA (International Association of Lighthouse Authorities).
When comparing to budget, Jersey Coastguard has a variance of £0.4 million, due to freight income falling short of budget. The policy of allocating a portion of freight dues to the Coastguard is to be reviewed. Expenditure variances as noted year on year have also contributed
to the adverse variance which has in part been offset by the reduction in overhead allocation due to the increased Trading Fund returns.
Marine Leisure
Marine Leisure offers over 1,000 berthing spaces and
a range of ancillary services to local and visiting boat owners in the St Helier marinas and outlying harbours. For the tenth consecutive year, Jersey Marinas has retained its prestigious 5 Gold Anchors' status, awarded by The Yacht Harbour Association.
In May the seventh Jersey Boat Show continued on the strong foundations of previous shows with positive local, national and international media coverage, continued support from key political and business leaders, impressive visitor numbers, increased interior exhibitor space and wider features programme.
Jersey Marinas generated a Net Revenue Income of £1.5 million compared to £1.2 million in 2013 and net revenue income of £0.8 million in the approved budget.
Year on year there has been a £0.1 million increase in revenues, resulting from the annual price increases. Further expenditure has reduced since 2013 (by
£0.2 million), despite the 4% pay award. In 2014 the return to the States was included in the overhead allocation across service lines.
Revenues exceeded budget by £0.7 million. It was anticipated that due to remedial (pontoons repairs) and surveying works to be undertaken during the year, that income streams would be adversely impacted. The marina management team have worked hard to offer a diverse mix of contract products which have been able to sustain revenue lines. The winter and monthly contracts have in particular performed well against budget.
The reduction in budgeted overhead due to increased investment income has been the primary variance against budget, though this has in part been offset by the 4%
pay award in the year and increased maintenance costs in regards to the Historic Harbours, exacerbated by the extreme weather conditions during the 2014 winter with above normal storm activity.

The main income stream for JCP is from parking charges, which includes sales of parking cards (paycards and UniTickets), season tickets and parking and site rental. Car parking charges increased on 1 February 2014 in line with the September 2013 RPI(Y) increase of 1.2%. RPI(Y) is the Retail Price s Index excluding mortgage interest payments and indirect taxes(e.g. GST and Impôts duties).
The next major stream is from parking fines, for the breach of public parking legislation both on-street and in car parks administered by JCP.
The third largest source of income is interest on the trading fund balance.

The main source of income is from the provision of vehicle and plant hire to other States Departments. This has increased year-on-year, as JFM takes on the role of lessor for more and more States vehicles.
The next highest source of income is for maintenance work on vehicles, when not covered by the annual lease charge. This applies to wear and tear on vehicles in excess of what might be reasonably expected.
The third highest source of income is from the provision of fuel for States vehicles at Bellozanne and La Collette. This is available to all States Vehicles, and is more cost effective than using an external provider.
Other Variances 15 Net Underachievement (72)
The underachievement of Vehicle and Plant Hire income relates to primarily to shortfalls on plant hire due to changes in the working practices of other Departments since budgets were set in 2012.
The staff cost savings relate to vacancies in the workshops.
The overspend on supplies and services relates primarily to the cost of vehicles bought for less than £10,000, which were originally expected to be more expensive and therefore would have been funded from capital rather than revenue.

Jersey Fleet Management
Jersey Fleet Management is responsible for the management and maintenance of fleet vehicles on behalf of many States Departments.
JFM has its own fleet of vehicles, which it leases
to Departments on both long term and short term arrangements, as well as managing third party lease arrangements for standard fleet vehicles.
Following the decision in 2011 that the management, procurement and maintenance of all States vehicles should be the responsibility of JFM, more and more vehicles have been procured and leased through JFM, as other Departmental vehicles come to be replaced. This has resulted in increased lease income as well as increased depreciation.
As well as managing the procurement of replacement vehicles, JFM also maintains its own workshops and fuel pumps, which are available for all States Departments.

Strategic Reserve Fund
Established under the Public Finances (Jersey) Law 2005, as a permanent reserve. The policy for the reserve was agreed by
the States under P.133/2006, stating that it is to be used only in exceptional circumstances to insulate the Island's economy from severe structural decline (such as the sudden collapse of a major island industry) or from major natural disaster. The States have subsequently approved P84/2009 which proposed that this policy is varied to enable the Strategic Reserve to be used, if necessary, for the purposes of providing funding of up to £100 million for
a Bank Depositors Compensation Scheme and P122/2013 which agreed to the drawdown of approximately £297 million to fund the new hospital scheme over a period of years.

Actual 2013 Actual 2014
£91.9 £53.7
million million
The Strategic Reserve Fund continues to pursue its investment strategy through investment in the States of Jersey Common Investment Fund. The Fund's portfolio includes a balance of return seeking assets, including equity and capital preservation assets, such as gilts. The year end holdings are illustrated per the diagram to the right of this page.
By the year end the Fund held investment assets to the value of £786.5 million; these assets generated the vast majority of the Fund's £53.7 million income equating to
a return of around 7.2%. Although lower than the prior year return this represents a good return for the Fund and exceeds the Fund's expected long term return of 5%.
The majority of the performance of the Fund was generated by the Fund's equity class investments which contributed £37.5 million to the total Fund return. Of the remaining £16.2 million, the property pool contributed £2.9 million and the UK corporate bond pool £8.9 million. The remainder was earned by the other fixed income classes, the short term government bond and absolute return bond pools.
The majority of the Fund's managers exceeded their benchmark performance for the year; however the
overall Fund underperformed benchmark due to the
costs incurred building the Fund's property pool position. Although beneath benchmark, the pool generated positive returns and is expected to recover against benchmark through subsequent performance of the investment.
Performance of CIF Investments
The Strategic Reserve Fund participates in a range of CIF pools. Investments are held by the CIF, which recognises income, expenditure and gains/losses on Investments. The Fund recognises only gains or losses on the units held in the CIF.

Total Gains recognised (91,899) (53,675)
The above table shows the income and expenditure
paid within the CIF pools apportioned to the Strategic Reserve through the movement in value of CIF units. These values represent the share of income and expense if the Fund's assets were held directly. Income and gains on investment are generated by the performance of the managers; the expenditure represents a combination of administrative fees, such as custodian fees, transactional charges and the manager's fees. The lower income
and gains on investment were attributable to market conditions which, although positive, were less favourable than the prior year. Expenditure is attributable mostly to investment management fees and is in line with the prior year when adjusted for the increased average funds under management.
The remaining investment income is generated outside the CIF by legacy investments sold before year end and transitional cash holdings.
- Expenditure
Actual 2013 Actual 2014

The increase in the NAV is predominantly attributable
to net income from the Fund's investments held within the CIF. During the year, in line with the 2014 Budget Statement (P122/2013), £10.2 million was drawn from the Fund and transferred to the Consolidated Fund for the planning and creation of new hospital services in the Island.

Some expenses relating directly to the Strategic Reserve cannot be paid by the CIF Pool and are charged to the Fund directly. These fees remain low and in line with the prior year.

Stabilisation Fund
Established under the Public Finances (Jersey) Law 2005, the purpose of this Fund is to provide a reserve which can be used
to make Jersey's fiscal policy more countercyclical in order to create a more stable economic environment. The Fund receives cash allocations in more buoyant economic conditions and makes payments at times of anticipated economic downturn.

The remaining £1 million held by the Stabilisation Fund was drawn down in the fourth quarter of the year in line with the 2015 Budget Statement debated by the States in September 2014. During the year the Fund held assets only in the CIF Long Term Cash Pool due to the low level of holdings and in anticipation of the drawdown.
The low level of income of £9,167 in 2013 and £5,468 in 2014, reflects the low balance of the Fund and ongoing low interest rate environment which has continued to depress cash returns.
Performance of CIF Investments
The Stabilisation Fund participated in the CIF Long Term Cash Pool. Investments were held by the CIF, which recognises income, expenditure and gains/losses on Investments. The Fund recognises only gains or losses on the units held in the CIF.

Some legacy funds relating to broker cash remained in the Fund for settlement of any outstanding fees and were transferred to the Consolidated Fund post year end.

The long term investment portfolio, made up of the non- cash elements of the Fund's CIF investments plus £10 million of infrastructure investment held outside the CIF, represents the proportion of currency deemed to be in permanent circulation which can be invested over a longer term time horizon.

The Insurance Fund saw an increase of expenditure in 2014 of £0.1 million. The largest increase was attributable to Other Operating Expenses' resulting from higher ex-gratia payments made over the year which related to one-off costs due to extreme storm damage to coastal defences. These are not expected to be a recurring expense. Premises and Maintenance costs also saw a small rise; these costs include all insurance charges and settlements levied on the Insurance Fund and saw a net increase of £76,000. This increase reflected a number of offsetting movements, the largest movements being an increase in property claims of £158,000 and the largest fall being Motor and Liability claims which saw a decrease of £82,000.

Prize payments and commission to distributors were

Overall expenditure grew by £3.5 million (42.7%) in 2014. Prize payments make up the majority of this increase
at £2.9 million with commission the other significant contributor at £0.3million.
The 2014 grant to the Association of Jersey Charities was £0.7 million, which represents an increase compared to 2013 of 2.5%.
The 2014 grant increased by less than income as the underlying profitability of the lottery was lower in 2014 than 2013 as a result of larger prize funds on 2014 games and higher commission costs.
A special distribution of £0.4 million was made to the Association of Jersey Charities from the net assets of the fund. As a result, expenditure was greater than income in 2014.

Over several years the Channel Islands Lottery (Jersey) Fund established a reserve to protect against the
potential losses that could have been incurred through
the operation of the Lottery. In 2014 a new approach to ticket sales was introduced which significantly reduced the fund's risk exposure and permitted a reduction in the level of reserves held. As a consequence, a special distribution of £0.4 million was paid to the Association of Jersey Charities reducing the Net Asset Value of the fund by an identical amount.

On 9 June 2014 the States of Jersey issued a
£250.0 million Bond at a coupon rate of 3.75% with
a 40 year maturity. The cash received from the Bond (£243.8 million) is invested in the CIF until it is lent out.
£6.8 million income was received from gains recognised in the CIF during 2014.
£1.2 million was received by way of a one off reimbursement of part of the Bond issuance costs from Andium Homes Limited.
£0.3 million related to the unrealised gain on revaluation of derivatives (Letters of Comfort) in 2014. The 2013 provision was removed in full.
Loan interest received was £0.2 million in 2014. During the year 3 loans were issued to Andium Homes Limited (£40.6 million).
Performance of CIF Investments
The Housing Development Fund participated in a range of CIF pools in 2014, investing the Bond proceeds until they are lent out. Investments are held by the CIF, which recognises income, expenditure and gains/losses on investments. The Fund recognises only gains or losses on the units held in the CIF.

Expenditure in 2014 changed mainly as a result of the £250.0 million Bond issuance. The Bond discount (which is the difference between the Bond value of £250.0 million and the cash received of £243.8 million) and Bond issuance costs are amortised over the life of the Bond
(40 years).
On 9th December the first half yearly interest instalment was paid to investors at the coupon rate of 3.75% per annum (£4.7 million.)
The total expenses in 2014 relating to the Bond
which included Bond interest payments and accruals, amortisation of the Bond discount and issuance costs, using an effective interest rate, was £5.3 million.
The reason for the increase in the Fund value relates to the growth in Statement of Comprehensive Expenditure. This is mostly due to the Fund holding the proceeds from the Bond issuance and the investment of Bond proceeds in the CIF until they are issued as Loans from the Fund.

The amount borrowed by the States was transferred from the Consolidated Fund to the Housing Development Fund.
£243.8 million of cash was received from the Bond issuance. The difference between this and the £250.0 million value of the Bond is due to the published coupon rate of 3.75% which was rounded to the nearest 1/8th as is the market norm. This is to allow comparability between all Bonds in the market place. The Bond has been accounted for using amortised cost using an effective interest rate as per the JFReM.

Criminal Offences Confiscations Fund
This fund was established under the Proceeds of Crime (Jersey) Law 1999 to hold amounts confiscated under law. These Funds are then distributed in accordance with the relevant legislation. During the year The Proceeds of Crime and Terrorism (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Jersey) Law 2014, which came into effect on 4th August 2014, repealed the Drug Trafficking Offences (Jersey) Law 1988 and prescribed that any monies remaining
in the Drug Trafficking Confiscation Fund (DTCF) should be transferred to the Criminal Offences Confiscation Fund (COCF). Therefore the fund ceased to exist, and the remaining balance
of £1.2million was transferred into the COCF. These accounts illustrate the combined Fund Position.

Total confiscations of £4.5 million were received in 2014. This was mainly due to two large receipts of £2.8 million and £1.5 million which both formed part of an asset sharing agreements with the UK and US respectively.
Bank Interest received amounted to £0.1million.

Expenditure must be used to promote or support measures that prevent, suppress or otherwise deal with criminal conduct, that deal with the consequences of criminal conduct or facilitate in the enforcement of any enactment dealing with criminal conduct. Funds may also be used to discharge Jersey's obligations under asset-sharing agreements and to meet the expenses of administering the Fund.
In 2014 grants totalling £16.9 million were made of which, £14.8 million were to the Home Affairs Department for the Police Headquarters Re-location Project.
In 2014 £1.9 million was paid out in respect of an asset sharing agreement held with the UK.
Accumulated reserves of £1.3 million were transferred into the Fund from the DTCF which included bank balances of £4.1 million, a provision of £3 million for an Asset Sharing Agreement with the United States relating to a case dating back more than eight years and deferred expenditure of £0.2 million which related to grants made to the Home Affairs Department which remained unspent at the point of transfer.
During the year total confiscations of £4.5 million were received in 2014 which were offset by the £17.0 million grants paid, £1.9 million which was paid out in respect of an asset sharing agreement held with the UK and a gain on foreign exchange during the year of £0.2 million.
A creditor of £0.7million existed at the year end for the grant due to Health and Social Services for the UK Mental Health Placement.
Deferred expenditure was reduced by £0.1 million during the year as the Home Affairs Department used some of the Funds for a Jersey Customs & Immigration Service project.

million million
The balance on the Fund has increased by 16.3% (£12.4 million) due to the surplus retained in the fund.
Assets are mainly debtors for contributions along with fixed assets including the building which houses the department and working cash balances. The fund invests its surplus in the Social Security Reserve Fund which sets aside funds for the future provision of pension benefits
for those in employment so as to reduce the impact of pensions in future generations, as well as to smooth contributions for Social Security benefits over time.
Contribution income and the States Grant have increased by 2.5% (£4.0 million) and 2.4% (£1.5 million) respectively.
Contributions to the fund are paid by working age adults (5.2% of earnings) and their employers (5.3%) up to the Standard Earnings Limit (SEL) of £47,016 per annum.
Contributors with earnings below the SEL, but above the Lower Earnings Limit (LEL) of £9,888 per annum, normally receive a supplement to bring their contributions up to
the SEL. This is in order to protect pensions and benefit entitlement.
The States provide an annual grant to the Fund, which partly covers the cost of the supplement. The 2014
grant was £63.7 million, £1.5 million higher than 2013
and is recorded as expenditure in the Social Security Department pages of this Annex. The amount is governed by a formula and was set for the period of the MTFP. A contribution rate of 2% payable on earnings by employers and Class 2 contributors between the SEL and the Upper Earnings Limit (UEL) of £155,568 per annum makes up the remaining supplement.
Contribution income has increased by £4.0 million compared with prior year. The number of contributors rose from an average of 50,865 in 2013 to an average of 51,292 in 2014 (based on latest figures).

Expenditure has increased by £3.9 million during 2014, including an increase in social benefits payments
of £3.8 million offset by a decrease in other costs of £0.8 million.
The increase in social benefits payments is mainly due to the increase in Pensions (£6.2 million) offset by decreases in Redundancy Protection (£1.0 million), Invalidity Benefit (£0.9 million) and Short Term Incapacity (£0.5 million).

Old Age Pensions £160.5 million
Just over three-quarters of Social Security benefit expenditure is in respect of old age pensions. This cost is growing year on year as the number of pensioners increases.
The value of the pension depends on the number of years of contributions with the maximum, full rate of pension being paid to those with a contribution record of 45 years or more.
In October 2014 the standard rate of pension increased by 2% from £193.48 to £197.40 per week.
Pensioners living in Jersey have typically paid more Social Security contributions having lived and worked for more years in Jersey, and therefore receive a larger pension. The lower levels of pensions paid abroad reflect Jersey's history of high levels of migrant labour where non-Jersey born nationals have worked in Jersey for a relatively short period before leaving the island.

Long Term Incapacity Allowance (LTIA) and Invalidity Benefit (INV) £22.9 million
LTIA was introduced in October 2004 to replace Invalidity Benefit and Disablement Benefit.
Invalidity Benefit was payable as a result of a permanent illness and designed as income replacement', and did not allow claimants to undertake work whilst claiming.
Disablement Benefit was payable as a compensation for a permanent disability as a result of an accident, and allowed claimants to undertake work whilst claiming.
£8.1 million was paid out in Invalidity and Disablement Benefits in 2014. These benefits are no longer open to new claimants as they are directed towards LTIA therefore numbers and cost are steadily reducing.
The LTIA benefit (£14.8 million in 2014) compensates people for their loss of faculty, regardless of whether it
is as a result of an illness or injury. It is assessed as a percentage of the standard rate of benefit based on their loss of faculty and is an in work benefit. LTIA allows people to gradually return to work, or work when able to do so, whilst still receiving a benefit which provides some financial support.
Short Term Incapacity Allowance (STIA)
£12.4 million
Maternity & Adoption Benefits £2.6 million
A Maternity Grant (or Adoptive Parent Grant) is paid to help with the initial general costs of having a baby. The Grant is available as a lump sum to either the father or mother who satisfies the contribution conditions. A weekly Maternity Allowance can also be payable to the mother. This can be paid for up to 18 weeks, at the same rate as STIA, but based on only the mother's contribution record before she became pregnant.
Home Carer's Allowance (HCA)
£1.9 million
This benefit is similar to the previous Invalid Care Allowance, and is in place to help people who give up employment to take on a caring commitment for a person who needs a high level of personal care.
Death Grants £0.6 million
A contributory Death Grant is available in respect of most deaths in Jersey. Grants are also paid in respect of individuals living outside Jersey at the time of their death, if they were receiving a full-rate benefit, such as a 100% old age pension rate, immediately prior to the date of death or their departure from Jersey was less than six months prior to the date of death.
Short Term Incapacity Allowance (STIA) is usually Insolvency Benefit £0.1 million authorised by GPs and paid to working age claimants who
satisfy the necessary contribution conditions for periods Insolvency Benefit was introduced on 1st December 2012 of incapacity lasting between 2 and 364 days. Most STIA and provides financial assistance to employees who are claims are paid at the standard rate of benefit. made redundant due to the insolvency of their employer.
Other Benefits
Survivor's Benefits £4.6 million
Two types of survivor's benefits are paid; Survivor's Allowance and Survivor's Pension. These benefits are paid on a percentage basis to survivors based on the contribution record of their deceased spouse or civil partner and are mainly paid to survivors while they are of working age.
- What we have achieved
Old Age Pensions
The number of Old Age Pensions in payment continues to increase each year in line with the growing population of this age group and increased life expectancy.
As of 31st December 2014 almost 30,000 old age pensions were in payment; with payments being made to pensioners living in 60 different counties across the world.
Short Term Incapacity Allowance (STIA)
There has been a gradual decline in the number of STIA claims per year and since 2012 there has also been a slight fall in the average length of a claim.
In 2014 almost 25,000 STIA claims were paid.

a dispensing fee paid to community pharmacists (£6.4 million) in respect of each item dispensed. The Minister for Social Security is responsible for maintaining the list of drugs that are available on prescription from GPs.
A standard benefit is paid in respect of each GP consultation covered by the Health Insurance Fund. Additionally a separate benefit, paid at the same rate, is available in respect of the cost of a letter of referral written by a GP to a hospital consultant or other specialist.
Throughout 2014 the value of the benefit was set at £20.28 per consultation.
Medical Benefit – Pathology Laboratory Benefit £0.9 million
In January 2010 the Health and Social Services Department introduced a charge for analysing blood samples provided by GPs. A new benefit was set up within the Social Security Department, funded through the Health Insurance Fund, to ensure that this cost was not passed on to the patient.
The benefit covers blood samples taken for haematology testing and for clinical chemistry testing and was introduced at a standard rate of £10 before being increased to £10.35 in June 2012.

Fund Performance
- Income
Actual 2013 Actual 2014
£195.6 £95.5
million million
The Social Security (Reserve) Fund holds a range of investments both within the CIF and outside. The assets within the CIF are mostly managed on an active basis; these managers seek to outperform a relative benchmark. The Fund also holds assets with Legal & General
(L&G) in passive funds outside the CIF, which follow a benchmark without seeking to outperform. By the year end £1,099 million of the Fund's assets were held within the CIF and £154 million of its assets were held outside with L&G.
Of the total return in 2014 of £95.5 million, £85 million was generated by the CIF and £10.5 million by the assets held outside. Although lower than the prior year this represents a good return for the Fund and exceeds the Fund's actuarial assumption of investment return of 2% in excess of earnings increases per annum.
The majority of the performance of the Fund was generated by the Fund's equity class investments, though the other classes, fixed income, cash and property also generated positive returns.
The overall net return of the Fund was 8.2%; this stems from both good returns from the markets but also performance from the active investment managers who produced net returns in the year in excess of their benchmarks.
- Expenditure
Actual 2013 Actual 2014
£0.3 £0.0
million million
Investments held in the CIF recognise income, expenditure and gain/losses on investments within the CIF pool. The Fund recognises only gains or losses on the units held in the CIF.
Expenses recognised directly by the Social Security (Reserve) Fund relate mostly to management fees charged directly to the Fund by the Investment Manager of the assets held outside the CIF. Equivalent fees in the CIF are charged to the CIF pool and are therefore recognised within the unrealised gain or loss on the Units held by the Social Security Reserve Fund.
Performance of CIF Investments
Social Security (Reserve) Fund participates in a range
of CIF pools. Investments are held by the CIF, which recognises income, expenditure and gains/losses on Investments. The Fund recognises only gains or losses on the units held in the CIF.

The above table shows the income and expenditure paid within the CIF pools apportioned to the Social Security (Reserve) Fund through the movement in value of CIF units. These values represent the share of income
and expense if the Fund's assets were held directly. Income and gains on investment are generated by the performance of the managers; the expenditure represents a combination of administrative fees, such as custodian fees and transactional charges and the manager's fees. Manager fees are expected to be higher in the CIF than outside due to the greater costs of active management. Fees charged during the year have risen due to the higher value of Fund Assets held within the CIF.

million million
The Net Asset Value (NAV) increased from £1,157.7 million to £1,253.2 million during 2014, an increase of
£95.5 million (8.2%).
The increase in the NAV is mostly attributable to net income from the Fund's investments held both within and outside CIF. A small proportion of fees are charged outside of the CIF units; these fees relate to expenses directly incurred by the Social Security (Reserve) Fund rather than expenses of the CIF pools, these fees are negligible and have an immaterial impact on the Fund.

Long Term Care Benefit
From 1 July 2014 individuals with long term care needs have been able to claim benefits from the new long term care scheme. The value of the benefit depends on the assessed care level of the individual and where the care is being received. Claimants can receive care in their own home, in a specialist group home or in a residential home.
A means tested benefit is available from the start of the care for those with lower income and assets. Property loans are available which are secured against the value of the family home. Once standard care costs have reached a certain level all claimants are entitled to a benefit which covers their standard care costs.

Glossary of Terms
This glossary aims to explain some of the terms commonly used in the Accounts, and covers both accounting terms and terminology relating specifically to the States. The definitions given here are intended to assist the user of the accounts, and it should be noted that some terms may have specific legal meaning or more precise definitions under accounting standards. The reader should also refer to the States Accounting Policies in Note 9.1 of the Accounts, which include some definitions for accounting purposes and give more detail on the accounting treatments for various items.
Accounting Officer

Accruals Basis
This is one of the main accounting concepts. Income and expenditure are shown in the accounting period that they are earned or incurred, not as money is received or paid.
Accrued Pension
This is the amount of the annual pension an officer is entitled to as at the year end, i.e. the amount that they would receive if they carried out no further service.
Annual Budget Statement

Asset
An asset is something that the States of Jersey owns; assets are sub-divided into fixed assets, financial assets and current assets. Property, Plant and Equipment assets are assets which the States of Jersey has bought or constructed to provide services over a period of time.

or otherwise redeemed within one year of the end of the accounting period (e.g. inventory and receivables).
Audit of Accounts
An audit is an evaluation of the accounts by an independent expert. Please refer to the Auditor's Report for details of the work carried out.
Available-for-Sale Financial Assets
This category includes all Financial Assets that do not fall into one of the other categories (FVTPL, Held to Maturity or Loans and Receivables).

Budget (Approval)
A budget approval is the amount agreed either as the expected level of States Income (approved through the Annual Budget Statement), or the amount of expenditure a department may incur (approved through the Medium Term Financial Plan). Variations to these amounts may also be approved during the year. These accounts report two budget approval figures:
• 2013 MTFP: This is the original budget set and approved by the States Assembly;
• Final Approved Budget: This is the final budget after taking account of authorised changes during the year.
Capital Expenditure
Expenditure on the acquisition or construction of non- current assets that will be used to provide services beyond the current accounting period or expenditure that adds value to an existing fixed asset.
Cash Equivalent Transfer Values (CETV)
A cash equivalent transfer value (CETV) is a lump sum value in today's terms of the rights accrued within a

A lease is a financial arrangement that provides for the use of an asset without direct ownership. For accounting purposes leases can be either:
Finance leases: A lease that transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards associated with owning the asset to the lessee (in these accounts the States of Jersey). Typically finance leases are entered into to finance large capital projects, or
Operating Lease: A lease where the risks and rewards of ownership are not borne by the lessee. Operating leases are entered into for a range of assets such as vehicles or plant and machinery.

Revenue Expenditure
The day to day expenses associated with the provision of services, including the cost of employing staff, purchasing supplies and services and holding and using fixed assets.
Revenue Expenditure Limit
