WQ.233/2018
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HOME AFFAIRS BY DEPUTY R.J. WARD OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 6th NOVEMBER 2018
Question
Further to the response to Written Question 201/2018, will the Minister advise –
- which of the 42.9 uniform services posts identified as vacancies in the response to that question are planned to be lost in order to contribute to the £30 million of savings identified in the Chief Minister's speech of 10th October 2018 to the Chamber of Commerce;
- how many of these posts, if any, have already been lost and what savings have been made as a consequence; and
- what operational effects this loss of posts will have on uniform services?
Answer
- The new Department for Justice and Home Affairs has a vision to deliver a whole systems approach' to criminal justice. The department is currently developing a Target Operating Model based on the principles of prevention, early intervention, collaboration, co-operation and integration. This work is ongoing and involves representatives from all of the services which currently form part of the department. Accordingly, and until this work is complete, it is not possible to state how many of the posts that were identified as vacancies in the response to written question 201/2018 might be impacted. It is also not possible at present to confirm if all of the 42.9 posts identified as vacancies in the response to written question 201/2018 indeed remain as vacancies at the current time. Work is ongoing in this regard.
- Work is currently being undertaken as described in the answer to (a). It is possible to confirm that no posts have yet been lost as part of a contribution to the £30 million of savings identified in the Chief Minister's speech of 10th October 2018 to the Chamber of Commerce.
- With reference to the responses to (a) and (b), it is not possible at the present time to respond fully to this part of the question. The principles behind the development of the Justice and Home Affairs Department's proposed Target Operating Model are aimed at achieving a modern, effective and efficient criminal justice system and to maintain, and where possible enhance, the effectiveness of the response provided by Jersey's emergency services.
