R&O.146/2015.
This Order amends the Nursing Agencies (General Provisions) (Jersey) Order 1978, the Nursing Homes and Mental Nursing Homes (General Provisions) (Jersey) Order 1995 and the Residential Homes (General Provisions) (Jersey) Order 1995, to increase the fees payable under those Orders in respect of licences and registrations.
Article 1 increases the fees for applications for, and renewals of, licences for nursing agencies. For a first application for a licence the fee increases from £272.65 to £710, for a renewal of a licence (for the same person and premises) the fee increases from £134.66 to £361, and for a change of premises alone the fee increases from £107.08 to £200.
Article 2 increases the registration fee for a person carrying on a nursing home or mental nursing home from £186.96 to £710, and the registration fee for any separate person in charge of the home from £79.18 to £250. It also increases the annual fee, for the person carrying on the home, from £95.48 to £361.
Article 3 increases the equivalent fees for residential care homes by the same amounts and to the same levels as the increases for nursing homes and mental nursing homes.
Article 4 names this Order and would bring it into force 7 days after it is made.
The Order was made on 20th November 2015 and came into force on 27th November 2015.

This Order prescribes, under Article 3(d) of the Piercing and Tattooing (Jersey) Law 2002, the fees payable for registration (and for annual renewal of registration) under Article 2 of that Law. The fees are £55 for the registration of a person, and £100 for the registration of premises.
The Order was made on 20th November 2015 and came into force on 27th November 2015.
WRITTEN QUESTIONS
(See Item I(a))
- The Chief Minister will table an answer to the following question asked by the Deputy of St. John –
"During the States sitting on 17th November 2015 the Chief Minister gave an undertaking to provide analysis as to whether the changes made to the Social Rental Policy in 2013 (including an increase in rents to 90% of market rent) had in fact had the impact shown in the Jersey Income Distribution Survey. Could the Chief Minister provide this information and explain what the government will be doing differently, if anything, to ensure that changes made to Income Support and taxes in the future will not be undermined by housing prices?"
- The Minister for Treasury and Resources will table an answer to the following question asked by the Deputy of St. John –
"Could the Minister provide a table of data identifying baseline budgets for departments from 2009 to 2015 and specify the growth, savings and charges applied for each department in each year and setting out the cost of any restructuring or reform funds during these periods?"
- The Chief Minister will table an answer to the following question asked by the Deputy of St. John –
"Could the Chief Minister provide the number of reports produced by Oxera, stating what each report was relevant to and the cost applicable to each?"
- The Minister for Treasury and Resources will table an answer to the following question asked by the Deputy of St. John –
"On 3rd August 2009 a draft restructuring plan for the Treasury and Resources Department was announced and funds were appropriated to restructure the Department. Could the Minister explain why that plan is no longer accessible on the gov.je website? Could the Minister also state whether the plan was executed in the way prescribed and provide evidence of this? Also, could the Minister detail the full cost of the report and how the content compares to the 2014 report on Financial Management produced by the Comptroller and Auditor General?"
- The Minister for Social Security will table an answer to the following question asked by the Deputy of St. John –
"In answer to question 1240/5(9053) on 17th November 2015, the Minister provided links to a number of reports used to measure the success of the Income Support system. Could the Minister advise how these reports were used to determine recent measures in the Medium Term Financial Plan and in Orders made by the Minister and detail how those measures contribute to alleviating relative poverty in the Island?"
- The Minister for Health and Social Services will table an answer to the following question asked by Deputy S.Y. Mézec of St. Helier –
"How long are the current waiting lists for cataract operations? How long have waiting lists been, on average, each year for the past 5 years and what, if anything, is being done to try to reduce waiting lists?"
- The Minister for Housing will table an answer to the following question asked by Deputy S.Y. Mézec of St. Helier –
"Given the dramatic effect on levels of Relative Low Income that housing costs were shown to have had in the Income Distribution Survey 2014/15, what measures, if any, will the Minister be looking at to bring down rental costs to ensure that no more families end up living in poverty?
Is the Minister considering any changes to the current policy, and what thought, if any, will the Minister give to introducing rent control and to an empty property tax to encourage landlords not to leave properties empty in an effort to drive up rents?"
- The Chief Minister will table an answer to the following question asked by Deputy S.Y. Mézec of St. Helier –
"What consideration, if any, has been given to the suggestion from prominent Channel Islanders of Jersey contributing, both in cost and expertise, to a Royal Commission into the difficulties facing Sark?"
- The Minister for Social Security will table an answer to the following question asked by Deputy G.P. Southern of St. Helier –
"At a scrutiny hearing on 3rd September 2015 the Minister did not accept that, following the withdrawal of the Income Support single parent component, child poverty might increase; however, in the light of the figures produced in the Income Distribution Survey 2014/15 does the Minister now consider that there is a link between single parenthood and children at risk of being in poverty?
Has the risk of child poverty increased given the significant rise in the proportion of single parent households below the low income threshold after housing costs over the past 5 years (from 46% to 56%)? Does the Minister have an explanation for the change, and if not why not?
What figures, if any, does the Minister have for the impact of the withdrawal of the single parent component on the proportion of single parents and their children living below the low income threshold and what justification, if any, can the Minister offer for the decision to cut the single parent component before seeing the evidence contained in the Income Distribution Survey?"
- The Chief Minister will table an answer to the following question asked by Deputy G.P. Southern of St. Helier –
"Given that the Income Distribution Survey 2014/15 has revealed a growing income inequality gap (Gini coefficient up to 0.41 90 - 10 shares up to 19) over the past 5 years to the extent that Jersey is now a more unequal society than the U.K., what concerns, if any, does the Chief Minister have about this trend and what measures does he have under consideration in order to reduce this growing gap, and if none, why not?"
- The Chief Minister will table an answer to the following question asked by Deputy G.P. Southern of St. Helier –
"Given that figures revealed in the Income Distribution Survey 2014/15 show a fall in household incomes of 17% which, when combined with inflation at 13%, produces a reduction in purchasing power of 30% for those in the lowest quintile of the population, will the Chief Minister review the policies to promote social inclusion including benefit levels, minimum wage level, the transition to a living wage, and employment legislation concerning zero-hours contracts in order to urgently address the issue of financial hardship?"
- The Minister for Social Security will table an answer to the following question asked by Deputy G.P. Southern of St. Helier –
"Will the Minister inform members what reductions in funding for the Jersey Employment Trust have taken place, or will take place, which will result in reductions in the employment conditions for those vulnerable workers in sheltered employment with the Trust, along with the nature of those changes?
Do those measures live up to the Minister's promises to protect the vulnerable during her tenure?"
