REPORT
Introduction
Under the Health Insurance (Jersey) Law 1967, the Employment and Social Security Committee has the power to take disciplinary action against any approved general practitioner or pharmacist whose conduct is believed to have had a prejudicial effect on the administration and/or created an unreasonable cost to, the Health Insurance Fund.
The role of the Health Service Disciplinary Tribunal
If representation is made to the Committee regarding the conduct of a general practitioner or pharmacist then the matter is referred to the Health Services Disciplinary Tribunal. The Tribunal, if upholding the complaint, can make recommendations to the Committee, either that approval is withdrawn, or where an unreasonable cost is proved that an amount should be repaid to the Health Insurance Fund.
Constitution of the Health Service Disciplinary Tribunal
The Tribunal consists of a Chairman, who is an Advocate of not less than five years' standing, two members of the public and two members of the appropriate professional body. The Chairman and lay members are selected from a panel constituted by the States, on Committee recommendation, and the professional representatives from a panel constituted by the Committee.
The Chairman
Advocate Le Cornu was called to the English Bar in 1974, and the Jersey Bar shortly after in 1976. He was appointed as Crown Advocate in 1994 and as relief Magistrate in 1997. Advocate Le Cornu has been Chairman of the Health Service Disciplinary Tribunal since 1987.
