Connétable of St. Peter.
Milk quota scheme - question and answer (Tape No. 605)
The Deputy of St. Peter asked Senator Jean Amy Le Maistre, President of the Agriculture and Fisheries Committee, the following question -
"Would the President inform the Assembly whether the Committee has received details of the milk quota scheme which Jersey Milk proposes to introduce and, if so, would he -
- g i v e members details of the scheme;
- o u t li ne the likely effects of the schemeon the future of the dairy industryand in particular on smallherds;
- i n d ic ate whether the Committee has approved the proposals?"
The President of the Agriculture and Fisheries Committee replied as follows -
"Yes, the Committee has received details of the milk licensing scheme. The details have also been presented to milk producers by Jersey Milk and at a meeting on 29th August 2000 there was, by a show of hands, overwhelming support for the proposals.
- T h e aim ofthescheme,which was designedby Jersey Milk in consultation withthe Jersey Milk MarketingBoard,istoprovideJersey Milk with a mechanism to limit the total amountof milk it receives from producers. Thisisconsideredto be necessarybecausethetotalvolumeofmilk produced in the Island hasbeen gradually increasing and this is creating a difficult marketing problem for Jersey Milk,which is obliged by law toaccept all milk offered to itbyproducers. The scheme,which will operate from 1st January 2001, will allow Jersey Milk tolimit the total volumeof milk produced according to its assessmentofmarket requirements.
E a c h producer is to be issued with an initial licence, based on milk supplied in the year to June
2000. Producers can appeal against the initial licence issued to an Assessment Committee on a number of grounds, which have been notified to producers. Once the licence has been finalised for producers they will not be paid for any supply in excess of the licensed amount. When the initial licences have been decided for all producers the Executive of Jersey Milk will decide whether any pro rata adjustment is required to licences to bring production in line with expected market requirements in the future.
- T h e effects of theschemeare likely tobe beneficial both to the dairy industry and toconsumers. The scheme will provide the industry with a mechanism to control milk production to a level that can be marketed profitably. The industry should therefore be more profitable than would otherwise be the case. This will provideanaddedmeasureof stability for theindustryas a whole and greater confidence in the future for individual producers. Theconsumershould also benefit because, to the extent that the industry mayneed financial support in future, this supportwould be minimised. A profitable industry will alsoenable Jersey Milk to continue its successful policy of introducing a wider range of dairyproducts.The existence of the scheme will also strengthen the arguments for Jersey to continue toprotect its industry from the potentially very damaging effects of liquid milk importation.
W it h regard to the smaller scale producers, consideration is still being given to any special
provisions that may be necessary to protect their interests. The scheme has been written to allow flexibility to deal with special concerns of this kind. The situation will be monitored closely in the early stages of the scheme with the intention of safeguarding the interests of smaller scale producers.
- T h e Agriculture and Fisheries Committee hasnotbeenaskedtogive its approval to the scheme. The Committeeconsiders that control ofproduction is a matter for the industry itself toresolve. The Committeeconsiders that the milk licensing schemeis a responsible and well-considered initiative by the industry. The Committee is currently seeking advice from theLawOfficers concerning its role in facilitating the introduction of the scheme.
Operation of the Termination of Pregnancy (Jersey) Law 1997 - questions and answers (Tape No. 605)
Senator Christopher Gerard Pellow Lakeman asked Senator Stuart Syvret, President of the Health and Social Services Committee, the following questions -
"1. I n relation to the comments made by the Medical Officer of Health in his report for 1999, presented
to the Assembly on 12th September 2000, would the President explain -
(a ) w h e n the difference in rate of abortions between Jersey and Guernsey was brought to the
attention of the Sexual Health Strategy Group?
( b ) w h a t preliminary view his Department takes for this disparity?
a n d w o u l d he provide details to the Assembly of the membership of the Group?
- T h e Medical Officer of Health describes one medical practitioner who has persistently and deliberately contravened the administrative requirements of the Law'. Would the President provide to the Assembly -
(a ) in fo rmation as to whether the person involved is in private practice or employed by the
Department?
( b ) f u ll d etails of the omissions referred to by Dr. Grainger and sanctions taken, if any?
( c ) d e t a ils of the measures that will be required to ensure the Termination of Pregnancy Law is
enforceable?
- In his annual report for 1999, the Medical Officer of Health makes mention of an Ethics Committee. Would the President please provide to the Assembly -
( a ) d e ta i ls of the membership, with relevant qualifications and experience? ( b ) d e ta i ls of the length of appointment and criteria for selection?
( c ) a li s t of issues considered by the Committee since inception?"
The President of the Health and Social Services Committee replied as follows -
" 1 (a ) The Medical Officer of Health received the Annual Report of the Director of Public Health for Guernsey at the end of 1999. The differences in the reported termination rates were discussed with the Chairman of the Sexual Health Strategy Group in March this year.
T h e S e x ual Health Strategy Group is committed to examining a range of indicators, including
comparisons with Guernsey and the United Kingdom. However, it is awaiting data for 1999 from the United Kingdom before it will be possible to consider the implications.
(b ) T here are no fundamental differences in the approach of either Island to the question of personal and
social education and health promotion.
E x p l a n a ti ons include the possibility that this is a short-term statistical anomaly or that there has been
an error in the way the data has been interpreted. In particular, the initial analysis involved comparisons of data from Guernsey with Jersey averaged over different time periods; and the original figures were based on age-specific rates.
F u r t h e r a nalysis, based on rates per total births, demonstrates the termination rate to be less than 20
per cent higher in Jersey and, allowing for the margin of error, this is not statistically significant.
T h e re a r e inevitably some differences in termination of pregnancy rates throughout Europe, and
fluctuations over time may reflect changing cultural or social values. It is notable that the rates for Guernsey have been slightly different from those for Jersey for many years.
I t h a s b e e n agreed that the statistics should be re-examined when more data is available for this year. (c ) T he members of the Sexual Health Strategy Group are -
R e p r e s entatives of key voluntary organisations -
t h e P r e s id e n t o f Alliance for Life;
t h e M a n a g e r o f Jersey Brook Advisory Service;
a re p r e se n t a ti v e of the Causeway Centre;
t h e D ir e c to r o f ACET Jersey;
t h e C o m m u n it y Officer from ACET;
a n d a f am i ly p lanning nurse from Family Nursing and Home Care.
R e p r es e n t a ti ves from other States Departments and organisations -
th e Jersey Youth Officer;
a n ad v i s e r fr o m the Education Department; t w o G e n e r al M edical practitioners.
H e a l th a n d S ocial Services staff -
t h e N u rs e M a n ager of the General Hospital Day Surgery Unit, a n u rs e f r o m th e Mental Health Service;
a n u rs e f r o m th e Sexual Health Clinic;
a C o n s u lt a n t G ynaecologist and Obstetrician;
t h e C o n s u l ta n t Microbiologist;
a se n i o r C l in i c al Medical Officer from Public Health;
t h e D ep u t y M e dical Officer of Health;
a re p r e se n t a ti v e from the Alcohol and Drugs Service;
t h e S e x u a l H ea lth Promotion Officer;
a n u rs e t u to r , f rom the General Hospital;
a n d a r ep r e s e n tative from the Children's Service.
2 .( a ) I can advise the Assembly that the person involved is employed by the Health and Social Services
Committee.
- T heomissions were of a technical and administrative nature involvingthe failure to provide, at the right time, all the details requested in the certificates whichmustbecompletedtocomply with the Law.
S p e c if ic a l ly, the omissions were -
(1 ) f i rs t ly , that the second signatures on certain forms were those of clinicians who had not at that
time been entered onto the list of practitioners approved for the purposes of the Law;
(2 ) s e c o n dly, the confidential form of notification to the Medical Officer of Health had not been sent
to the Medical Officer of Health within the seven day period required under the Law.
W h il s t t e chnically contraventions of the Law, the medical opinions were not questioned by the
Medical Officer of Health and the administrative irregularities would not have changed the outcomes of the
procedures.
T h e s e m at ters were referred to the Attorney General. His advice was acted upon and since early this
year revised administrative arrangements have been implemented. I am now informed that the matter has been satisfactorily resolved and no further irregularities have been noted.
(c ) I believe the Law is currently enforceable as the Health and Social Services Committee may remove
the name of any practitioner from the list of practitioners approved for the purposes of this Law, should they not comply with the administrative requirements.
3 .( a ) I should explain that the role of the Ethics Committee is to advise the Health and Social Services
Committee on policy regarding ethical issues; to consider specific issues relating to clinical research proposals; and to respond to requests from clinicians in all disciplines for support on ethical matters arising in their professional practice.
T h e m e m b ership of the Ethics Committee reflects this broad range of responsibilities as follows -
th e C h a i rm a n is a Consultant Medical Practitioner who is currently studying for a Masters degree
in Legal Aspects of Medical Practice.
T h re e o th e r members are clinical professionals -
a G e n e r a l M edical Practitioner;
th e C h i e f P h armacist, who is familiar with the Medicines legislation and the principles of clinical
drug trials, and who has had previous experience on a Local Research Ethics Committee;
th e C h i e f N ursing Adviser, who is a nursing graduate, a registered general nurse and registered
mental health nurse, and has also had previous experience on a Local Research Ethics Committee.
T h e r e m a i nder are six non-clinical members -
a m e m b e r o f the clergy with significant experience in medical ethics, and a Local Research Ethics
Committee;
th e m a n a g e r of a charitable organisation supporting people with mental health problems, and who
is qualified and has substantial experience in social services;
a l o ca l A d v o cate who has a qualification and particular interest in health care law and ethics;
a l a y m e m b e r, a respected member of the community who has also had significant involvement in
voluntary organisations;
a s e n i o r m a nager who is qualified in bio-medical sciences and holds a Masters degree in health
policy;
an d I a m a l so a member.
(b ) E ach member is appointed by the Health and Social Services Committee for an initial period of three
years, which may be extended to ensure the staggering of future appointments.
T h e s e m e n and women are selected on the basis of their wide experience and expertise in the medical and scientific aspects of clinical research, the welfare of individuals and the broader ethical issues to
be considered by the Ethics Committee. The criteria for selection include their ability to offer different perspectives on ethical issues from a diversity of professional and lay backgrounds. Despite
being drawn from groups with an interest in health and social care, members are appointed in their own right to
participate as individuals of sound judgement and relevant experience. Particularly, they do not represent any lobby or interest group.
- T heEthicsCommittee first met in February this year under its present,broader constitution, and has considered and advised on a numberoflocalresearch proposals andmulti-centreclinical trials.
T h e s e w e re -
a s tu d y o n d r ug and alcohol misuse in Jersey;
th e C h a n n e l Island Occupation Birth Cohort Study;
a s tu d y o n b u limia nervosa;
a s tu d y o n w ork-related stress in nursing and other professions; sc r e e n in g fo r kidney disease;
a c li n i ca l d r u gs trial for a new anti-microbial agent.
M e m b er s of the Committee have also offered support to clinical staff in connection with consent to
medical treatment, living wills' and the termination of pregnancy. It is currently considering some complex ethico-legal matters related to a draft Human Fertilisation and Embryology Law. In the near future, the Committee intends to develop further guidance on a number of ethical issues of the kind that commonly confront health authorities.
I w o u l d like to express my Committee's sincere thanks to those voluntary members of the Ethics
Committee who have given a considerable amount of their time and expertise to consider some of the difficult and complex ethical issues facing health and social care professionals."
