WQ.14/2018

WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER

BY DEPUTY M.R. HIGGINS OF ST. HELIER ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 16TH JANUARY 2018

Question

Will the Chief Minister advise –

  1. how many public servants were removed or transferred from their positions in the Health and Social Services Department after being named in the Independent Jersey Care Inquiry Report;
  2. what roles they undertook within the department;
  3. how many of them were subsequently reinstated in their former role or in a new role involving children or vulnerable people; and
  4. explain in complete detail the nature of the investigation into these individuals including who carried out the investigation and the process that was used throughout?

Answer

Three employees from across the States of Jersey were investigated. Those investigations were reviewed by the States of Jersey Police and, where appropriate, the Attorney General.

All three were clear to return to their normal duties.

Where those duties included a front line role, the employees concerned were removed from those roles until investigations were complete. It is not appropriate to identify their

roles or departments as we have a duty of care to employees who have no case to answer.
