WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER
BY DEPUTY M.R. HIGGINS OF ST. HELIER ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 14TH FEBRUARY 2017
Question
Further to the answer to written question 1(72), tabled on 30th January 2017, will the Chief Minister advise members of both his role and that of the Minister for Health and Social Services at the meeting that took place with health officials on, or around, 21st / 22nd November 2012 to discuss the breaking of Mr. Alwitry's contract of employment at the General Hospital; will he further advise on what written evidence, if any, they based their decision to break the contract; and will he undertake to publish this evidence?
Answer
An exhaustive response to this question risks trespassing into territory which is sub judice. It is important to distinguish between the roles of two separate organs of administration.
The respective roles were as follows: Health and Social Services ("HSSD")
The decision in principle to terminate the contract was taken by the Hospital Managing Director, the Joint Medical Directors, and the HSSD HR Director. The recommendation was made to the HSSD CEO and the Health Minister[s] who concurred with the recommendation.
The HSSD HR Director wrote to the SOJ HR Director explaining the reasons for the HSSD intention to terminate the contract.
States Employment Board ("SEB")
The members of the SEB were advised by the SOJ HR Director of the day via email on 21st November 2012.
The evidence relating to this matter will not be published and no further questions will be answered concerning it because it is sub judice.
