WQ.301/2021

WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TREASURY AND RESOURCES

BY SENATOR T.A. VALLOIS

QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 14th JUNE 2021

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 21st JUNE 2021

Question

With reference to Transfers between Heads of Expenditure under the Public Finances (Jersey) Law 2019: Article 18 – 28th May 2021' (R.105/2021), will the Minister advise whether the projects that are being specifically deferred to continue funding the hospital project are being deferred because they are behind schedule or because the costs are too high for them to be completed; and if neither of these reasons applies, will the Minister provide a full explanation of the relevant reason for the deferral of the project?

Answer

The projects transferring funding to enable the continuation of the Our Hospital project were identified by various departments within Government, for one of three reasons:-

They currently have funding allocated but that could be funded a different way,

They have not made the level of progress expected and are therefore likely to slip into 2022 anyway and projects that can be delayed until 2022; and

Projects that no longer need the funding they have.

The following table shows which category each head of expenditure releasing funding falls under:_
