• What is the problem or issue the decision is trying to address?

• Do children experience this problem differently from adults?

The States Assembly are being asked to approve an amendment to the Proposed Budget  2025-2028  ("P.51/2024")  which  will  introduce  additional  heads  of expenditure for the Overdale Acute Facility, Kensington Place Ambulatory Facility and the St Saviours Health Village in relation to the proposals for Phase 1 of the New Healthcare Facilities Programme.

The amendment also asks that the additional heads of expenditure are populated by 30th June 2025 and that supplementary information is published in successive Budgets (Government Plans) about the additional heads of expenditure, in the same way as provided for other Major Projects in the Proposed Budget (Government Plan). The proposed amendment relates only to the P.51/2024 process, and the way in which information about heads of expenditure on the New Healthcare Facilities Programme is shared with States Members and the public.

2)  Which groups of children and young people are likely to be affected?

Groups of children could include early years, primary or secondary education; young adults; children with additional learning needs; disabled children; children living in poverty; children from particular ethnic backgrounds; migrants; refugees; care experienced children and LGBTQ+ children

The proposed amendment relates only to the process for setting out expenditure within P.51/2024, and the way in which information about heads of expenditure on the New Healthcare Facilities Programme is shared with States Members and the public, a process which children are precluded from.

3)  What is the likely impact of the proposed decision on children and on their rights?

• Identify any potential positive OR negative impacts and include indirect impacts on children and their rights as described in the UNCRC

• Will different groups of children be affected differently by this decision?

This proposed amendment is unlikely to alter the impact of the New Healthcare Facilities Programme on children and young people.

4)  Is a full Children's Rights Impact Assessment required?

If you have identified impacts on children and their rights, a full CRIA should be completed. If no impacts are identified then a Full CRIA is not required, but please explain your rationale and how you reached this conclusion
