WQ.49/2019
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER
BY DEPUTY G.P. SOUTHERN OF ST. HELIER ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 29th JANUARY 2019
Question
Further to the response to Written Question 276/2018, in which he stated (in relation to potential savings of £30 million) that "some of those savings will be achieved through responsible headcount management, but other efficiencies will be important as we modernise our public services – better commercial contract management, consolidating assets, improving automation and online services, rationalising back office processing, and reducing layers of management", will the Chief Minister confirm whether he has received any submissions from Ministers on the content of their Target Operating Models (TOMs) and, if so, will he inform members what savings targets he consequently has under consideration for each of the six factors he listed?
Answer
Target Operating Models (TOMs) are still currently being developed by Departments with most having started or about to start formal consultation. Alongside the development of the TOMs, Officers have been tasked with identifying the potential savings and this is being coordinated by the Chief Operating Officer. This work by officers is expected to conclude by the end of March, with implementation through to May. This will include identification of the potential savings available for each of the six factors listed, as well as some others. The results of this work will be considered with individual Ministers, the Chief Minister, and the Council of Ministers in advance of being finalised.
