WQ.250/2020
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT BY DEPUTY M.R. HIGGINS OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 30th JUNE 2020
Question
Will the Minister provide members with an organisation chart for his department and set out for members the arrangement of his department in terms of full-time equivalent (F.T.E.) employees; and will he explain how this has changed over the last four years?
Answer
I regret that I am not able to provide the information the Deputy has requested in the limited timeframe available, due to circumstances beyond my control.
The current organisational chart of officers currently working on services for which I have political responsibility i.e. Environment and Regulation teams within the GHE department is awaiting finalisation as part of work on the Target Operating Model. The recently appointed acting DG is currently actively working on this with the Corporate People team.
The question also requires a retrospective analysis of historic staffing numbers for the previous four years before the Environment department was disbanded and partly absorbed into GHE in June 2018. This is a complex task because neither the old and new FTE's nor services included are comparable. The policy planning, historic building and environmental policy teams were moved out to the SP3 Department (the central policy team) for which I don't have responsibility, and there were regulatory functions transferred in. I have instructed that this research be carried out as quickly as possible.
I offer the Deputy my apologies and undertake to provide the information to all States members as soon as possible.
