STATES GREFFE
PROPOSITION
THE STATES are asked to decide whether they are of opinion
in a cc ordance with Article 5 of the Act of the States of 18th June 1991, establishing a scheme to subsidise
certain dental care, to appoint Mr. Michael John Touzel as Chairman of the Board of Management, for a period not exceeding 3 years with effect from 1st April 2004.
EMPLOYMENT AND SOCIAL SECURITY COMMITTEE
REPORT
The Jersey Dental Fitness Scheme was established by an Act of the States in 1991 (P.90/1991). The Scheme forms a partnership between the States and members to cover the costs of routine dental care and is targeted at young people between the ages of 11 and 21 years.
The administration of the Scheme is carried out by a Board of Management consisting of a lay Chairman (who is appointed by the States), 2 representatives of the Employment and Social Security Committee and 2 representatives of the Jersey Dental Association. The post of Chairman has been vacant since the resignation of Mr. William Morvan and the Employment and Social Security Committee would like to propose Mr. Michae Touzel for the role.
Michael Touzel will be well-known to members as the recently retired Constable of St. John, a post he held for 3 years, although he has been involved in Parish life since the 1960s. A natural Jerseyman, he was educated at Victoria College and entered the insurance business in 1959, which became his life's work, setting up M.J. Touzel Insurance Brokers Ltd. in 1971.
The Committee is delighted that Mr. Touzel is willing to undertake the Chairman's role. The good dental health of young people has to be a priority and the Dental Scheme has proved its worth in helping its members establish good dental care.
There are no financial or manpower implications for the States arising from this proposition.
