WQ.398/2019
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER
BY DEPUTY R.J. WARD OF ST. HELIER ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 8th OCTOBER 2019
Question
How will the recommendation contained in Paragraph 74 of the two-year review of the Independent Jersey Care Inquiry, namely that "a mechanism be established whereby all new policy, procedure or legislation is checked as to whether it has the potential to create a further perception of there being a Jersey Way'", be addressed and to what timescale?
Answer
The two-year review (R.123/2019) is a welcome, independent assessment of the work undertaken to meet the eight headline recommendations set out in the 2017 Independent Jersey Care Inquiry Report (R.59/2017). The Panel's review is encouraging when it states: "we commend the progress which has been made in respect of our inquiry recommendations to date and recognise that a huge amount of effort has been put into starting that change". However, there remain several areas in the response to date that the Panel recognise need to be strengthened. The Government is currently working through each recommendation in detail and aims to provide a fuller response to the review before the end of the year.
