WQ.431/2019
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE ASSISTANT CHIEF MINISTER BY DEPUTY R.J. WARD OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 22nd OCTOBER 2019
Question
Further to the answer to Written Question 258/2019, in which it was stated that "further services are planned for launch during 2019 and Yoti remains the strategic partner for digital identity" and that "we also continue to work with Yoti and the private sector to develop services that support the uptake of digital identification in Jersey", what additional services, if any, beyond those mentioned in that response have been implemented this year; and how much of the future budget within the Government Plan for I.T. has been allocated to the Yoti project?
Answer
Following the response to the previous Written Question 258/2019 both the application for a registration card and the health registration form are now live. The health registration form allows medical practitioners to register to work in Jersey. In addition, Yoti has been used as part of a DVS data cleanse project, allowing citizens to advise us online, using Yoti, if their details are correctly held. By the year- end we are also aiming to have the change of contact details form live.
Any future services around digital identity will form part of workstreams within the Technology Transformation Programme in the Government Plan. If the Government Plan is approved individual business cases will be created and submitted which will detail the budget, including any allocated for digital identity. Yoti was successful in winning the Security Implementation of the Year at the Jersey Tech Awards this weekend and we will continue to align with the adoption of this technology in a broader sense and use this to inform future planning around Yoti.
