WQ.3/2020

WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES BY DEPUTY G.P. SOUTHERN OF ST. HELIER

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 21st JANUARY 2020

Question

Further to the response to Written Question 546/2019, in which the Minister suggested that there would be cost reductions in transferring settings for primary care out of the hospital and stated that the assumptions underpinning these savings would be modelled by a third party, will the Minister name that third party, state what assumptions are being used and indicate when the work of the third party will be completed?

Answer

PwC is leading on the work reviewing the Jersey Care Model (JCM). It is anticipated that it will report by the end of March.

The review is considering the impact of the JCM on activity within the health and care system, the resources released from the current care setting due to reductions in activity (or growth in resources avoided) and any associated additional resources required in the new care setting.

From the above, we will be undertaking a review of the expected net financial impact through an assessment of the resources released/additionally required. This exercise will inform the financial ease of implementation assessment within the proposed review framework, mapping to classifications of high, low or no impact.

The review will also consider whether movement of funding from secondary care to primary care, the potential use of the Health Insurance Fund and other related matters would be appropriate.
