WQ.90/2021
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES BY DEPUTY M.R. LE HEGARAT OF ST. HELIER
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 8th MARCH 2021
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 15th MARCH 2021
Question
Will the Minister provide details of the total amount spent to date on the Jersey Care Model since it was approved by the Assembly in November 2020, will he further provide a breakdown of this spend detailing the various cost codes?
Answer
The Jersey Care Model (JCM) funding was approved as part of the Government Plan 2021-24, therefore, expenditure could only occur after 1 January 2021. Since 1 January 2021, as per Tranche 1 objectives, work has been undertaken to establish the foundations, including the JCM governance and programme management team structure to deliver the Jersey Care Model. Recruitment is underway with posts likely to be filled from August – therefore costs for the programme management will start increasing from Q3. In parallel, work has progressed on establishing the first parts of a new intermediate care pathway for which costs will be incurred from April 2021.
Some posts and services that have already started in January 2021 are currently still recorded against the existing codes in services, however, a cost category structure for the JCM is currently being set up in the ledger to record the expenditure accurately for the next four years. For Health and Community Services, these are:
JCM Mental Health
JCM External Partners
JCM Adult Social Care
JCM Scheduled Care
JCM Unscheduled Care
JCM Clinical Support Services
JCM Intermediate Care
JCM Women and Children's Services JCM Primary Care and Prevention JCM Programme Management
The JCM funding also included funding for Public Health and Digital which is being recorded in other departments and which undergoes a similar exercise in categorising the expenditure for the JCM so that reports can be produced against the JCM in each department.
The mapping exercise is currently in process and reports are expected to be available from May 2021 for the period January – April 2021.
