WQ.544/2019

WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER

BY DEPUTY K.G. PAMPLIN OF ST. SAVIOUR ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 10th DECEMBER 2019

Question

Will the Chief Minister outline how, if at all, Future Jersey relates to the new Target Operating Models, the One Gov programme and the Common Strategic Policy; and will he state whether there will be any update on, or follow-up to, the Future Jersey vision?

Answer

Future Jersey, our first shared long-term community vision, was published in 2017 following extensive public consultation. Future Jersey looks ahead 20 years and describes our ambitions as a community. Future Jersey has been fundamental in guiding the Council of Ministers in identifying the priorities for the Common Strategic Policy (CSP) 2018-2022. As a result, the priorities set out in the CSP link closely to Future Jersey outcomes.

Delivering better outcomes for Islanders requires a modern, innovative, efficient and effective public sector, as reflected in section five of the CSP. The One Gov initiatives and the Target Operating Model include significant process and capability improvements to improve public services and enhance outcomes for Islanders. Future Jersey is embedded in the new strategic planning and performance framework, ensuring that we work towards the longer-term outcomes set out in Future Jersey.

Future Jersey introduced a selected number of outcome metrics, providing measurable information on progress made against the vision. The current selection of metrics was a good start and helped us to understand how Jersey is doing, however, we recognised the need to bring together more information to support Islanders and government understand what progress is being made. A more comprehensive approach to measuring sustainable wellbeing has therefore been developed and will be published as Jersey's performance framework in January 2020.

It is anticipated that the Future Jersey vision will be tested and updated with our community once every 10 years to ensure that future opportunities and risks are being taken into account. The next Future Jersey update is therefore expected around 2027.
