WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES BY DEPUTY G.P. SOUTHERN OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 26TH SEPTEMBER 2017
Question
Following his policy decision to open home care funding to market competition, will the Minister list the names of the bodies currently engaged in the delivery of home care services locally, showing for each one their status as either a non-profit-making, charitable or private sector business; whether they are in local or other ownership; and the size of the organisation (as indicated by the number of staff employed)?
Will the Minister further set out a schedule for consultation on the delivery of an ethical care charter for these bodies engaged in the delivery of care in the home?
Answer
Details of the range of charitable and private sector organisations providing homecare in Jersey can be found on the Jersey Online Directory at www.jod.je
Health and Social Services does not hold information regarding the ownership details of the homecare providers nor the number of staff they employ.
Work is continuing on the consultation arrangements around a Jersey Ethical Care Charter and the first meeting with home care providers is scheduled for next month.
