Background

The Analytics Transformation Programme was launched in 2019 in answer to the increasing demand for business intelligence to inform strategic decision-making. An in- depth review was conducted on analytical resources, staff, technology, costs and working arrangements. Based on the review a detailed option appraisal was produced and shared with the Executive Leadership Team (ELT). On 4 August 2020, ELT agreed to go ahead with a Hub and Spoke model that consists of a central analytic team that advises and engages with the operational departmental analytical teams.

This  ensures that operational performance information and  analytics is  close to operational staff and supports the continuous improvement of service provision, whilst a central function provides standardised approaches and strategic insights on Island statistics and population needs.

The only operational analytics function that is not currently in its operational department is the Health Informatics team based in SPPP. It was agreed, in order to implement the new analytics model, the Health Informatics team would move to HCS from 1 January 2021.

The  requested transfer reflects the staffing requirements within  HCS  to  ensure intelligent insights are provided for operational decision-making. The relevant Heads of Finance Business Partnering, Group Directors, Accountable Officers and applicable Ministers for SPPP and HCS have agreed that the staff resources and related budgets be transferred accordingly.
