WQ.288/2019
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER BY DEPUTY K.G. PAMPLIN OF ST. SAVIOUR ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 2nd JULY 2019
Question
Further to the adoption of the Common Strategic Policy, will the Chief Minister advise what statistical data, if any, has been gathered to show, or measure, improvements or developments between 1st June 2018 and 1st June 2019 in respect of the key areas of the Policy?
Answer
The States Assembly decided the Common Strategic Policy (P.110/2018), as amended, on 4th December 2018. The Transition Report 2019 (R.155/2018) explained that the forthcoming Government Plan is where the Assembly, and Islanders, should begin to see evidence that the Government is focussed on delivering the shared priorities and ambitions contained within the Common Strategic Policy.
The Government Plan, therefore, which will be published later this month, will include a range of outcome measures in areas such as education, economic performance, and the environment, which will be reported on every six months henceforth as part of a new corporate performance framework
This will go alongside continued reporting the Future Jersey measures. Further, a large number of these outcomes are sourced from Statistics Jersey, who publish reports and data throughout the course of the Jersey, helping Government, and Members, and the public, assess our progress and local developments.
Together, this will provide a consistent and insightful view of how Government is performing against the outcomes within the Common Strategic Policy. This performance framework will also contribute to enhanced transparency and accountability to the public, which in return will support the continuous improvement of public services.
The Chief Minister has also presented to the Assembly on 18th June 2019 a report entitled The Council of Ministers: One Year in Office' (R.73/2019) to highlight the key activities and outcomes between June 2018 and June 2019. This report supplements the Annual Report and Accounts 2018 (R.48/2019) presented to the Assembly on 25th April 2019, which reports more deeply on a wider variety of measures using both service and financial performance data.
