WRITTEN QUESTION TO H.M. ATTORNEY GENERAL BY DEPUTY M.R. HIGGINS OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 14TH MARCH 2017
Question
Will H.M. Attorney General advise whether or not his Department has been involved in any recent refusal to provide records from the Department of Health and Social Services relating to a vulnerable person and that person's children to the person's Advocate; will he confirm whether or not all parties in any such case have given consent for those records to be released; and, if so, will he explain why there has been a refusal to release the records?
Answer
The question appears to refer to a specific case in which the Law Officers' Department is acting for Health and Social Services. It is not appropriate for the Attorney General to comment in public about the details of what, as the question indicates, is a delicate case.
