WQ.531/2019
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE
MINISTER FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, TOURISM, SPORT AND CULTURE
BY DEPUTY R.J. WARD OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 25th NOVEMBER 2019
Question
What plans does the Minister have to reinstate the position of Cultural Officer? What has happened to the funding from the previous post which was lost?
Answer
The aim is to recruit a member of staff as soon as possible to support the arts, culture and heritage sector in Jersey.
The previous Cultural Development Officer left the position in May 2018 and the funding connected with that role was returned to the centre. However, this will be addressed in the new Target Operating Model that restructures staffing in Government departments. An officer will be dedicated to this important role.
