WQ.144/2021
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE
MINISTER FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, TOURISM, SPORT AND CULTURE BY DEPUTY R.J. WARD OF ST. HELIER
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON TUESDAY 6th APRIL 2021
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 13th APRIL 2021
Question
"Will the Minister advise who will retain ministerial responsibility for the arm's-length organisation Jersey Sport at the point where Government funding is removed and the organisation becomes self-funding; and what level of control over decision-making will be maintained regarding charging for access to facilities?"
Answer
There is no plan to cease Government funding for Jersey Sport and it is not expected that the organisation will become self-funding. Ministerial responsibility is therefore expected to remain with the Minister for Economic Development, Tourism, Sport and Culture.
Government sports facilities are operated by the Sports Division through the Operations and Transport team within Infrastructure, Housing and Environment (IHE). The level of charges for access to these facilities is therefore managed wholly by the Government, not Jersey Sport.
Jersey Sport provides a range of services on behalf of the Government such as school swimming, GP Referral programme and School Bike Ability training. Jersey Sport receives a Government grant through a Partnership Agreement
