WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES BY DEPUTY G.P. SOUTHERN OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 24TH MAY 2016
Question
What results have emerged so far from the Minister's commitment to examine measures to reduce, cease or outsource services for which he is responsible? Are any areas of service provision likely to be subject to new or increased charges and, in particular, what changes, if any, are under consideration for patient transport services?
Answer
The Health and Social Services Department is always seeking to deliver services to Islanders in the most efficient and effective way possible, while prioritising the safety of patients. As one would expect, services are always under review to ensure value for money. There are no plans at this point in time to outsource, reduce or cease services currently provided by the department. The department is seeking to deliver savings through sustainable efficiencies, service redesign and cost reductions. Future plans are currently being finalised and will appear in the MTFP Addition. This would include changes, if any, to patient transport services.
