WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR SOCIAL SECURITY BY DEPUTY M. TADIER OF ST. BRELADE

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 25th NOVEMBER 2014

Question

Will the Minister detail for members how she will deliver those measures to balance the Consolidated Fund that apply to the Social Security Department and are listed on page 56 of the accompanying report to P.129/2014 Draft Budget Statement 2015'?

Answer

The Social Security Department is required to identify a saving of £330,900 in respect of its 2015 cash limit.

The Department is committed to making further improvements to Customer Service and will therefore achieve this savings target without any impact to the frontline services it provides to the public.

The Department may also be affected by the possibility of the deferral of contributions into the long-term- care fund. This will have no impact on the operation of the fund itself. It would however reduce the potential to build up a working reserve in the fund in the first few years of its operation.
