4 Deputy G.P. Southern of the Minister for Social Security regarding the Care Needs
at Home project (OQ.259/2020)
Will the Minister explain the rationale behind the decision to defer the implementation of the Care Needs at Home project by one year, in the light of the continuing commitment to increase care at home contained in the Jersey Care Model?
Deputy J.A. Martin of St. Helier (The Minister for Social Security):
I have not announced any plans to defer the Care Needs at Home project by one year.
3.4.1 Deputy G.P. Southern :
Is there to be any change in the schedule that she has originally come out with over the Carers' Strategy?
Deputy J.A. Martin:
This is not a Carers' Strategy. The Deputy may remember we have a very small group of people, I think there are between 80 and 100 people who are very vulnerable and we need officers to literally go into their home and make sure what their care needs are and it may need a bit of money, it may need help in different ways. This is why they are going from one form of benefit to another. I hope that helps the Deputy with who these people are.
