WQ.434/2020

WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES

BY DEPUTY G.P. SOUTHERN OF ST. HELIER

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 17th NOVEMBER 2020

Question

Will the Minister inform members what measures, if any, will be put in place to deliver affordable primary care to vulnerable groups (whether in financial, social or clinical need) in order to meet the terms of the Affordable Access to Primary Care Scheme (as agreed with the adoption of P.125/2019) and will he confirm when these measures will be introduced?

Answer

As set out in the answer to WQ390/2020 addressed to the Minister for Social Security, and WQ.392/2020 addressed to the Minister for Health and Social Services, officers are continuing discussions with GPs to deliver a scheme which will meet the terms of the Affordable Access to Primary Care Scheme (as agreed with the adoption of P.125/2019). It remains the intention for the scheme to be introduced by January 2021.
