WQ.197/2023
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE
MINISTER FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, TOURISM, SPORT AND CULTURE BY DEPUTY S.Y. MÉZEC OF ST. HELIER SOUTH
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON TUESDAY 2nd MAY 2023
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON THURSDAY 11th MAY 2023
Question
“Will the Minister provide a breakdown of the anticipated costs of the recently commissioned review of sport in Jersey to be undertaken by Simon Cooper?”
Answer
As outlined in the EDTSC Ministerial Delivery Plan for 2023, I committed to undertake a strategic review of the sports delivery landscape and the key bodies responsible for the delivery of sport in the Island, to ensure we provide a coordinated and enhanced sport offering for Islanders and are able to deliver on our strategic priorities. It has now been 5 years since the establishment of Jersey Sport and moving the delivery of sport to an arms-length arrangement. It is good practice to undertake reviews of public policy making and delivery to ensure that existing arrangements are effective, efficient and delivering good value for public money.
Simon Cooper, Sorensen Consulting Ltd has therefore been commissioned to:
• Review how the Government’s sport and physical activity policies are formulated and implemented.
• Review if the existing arms-length partner’s structure, organisation, management and delivery remains appropriate, relevant and fit for purpose to meet the Council of Minister’s Common Strategic Policy and ministerial priorities of the Minister for Economic Development, Tourism, Sport and Culture.
• Produce a report on the review findings, including recommendations on next steps to improve effectiveness and efficiency.
Extensive document review and analysis, a series of key stakeholder discussions with representatives from across the sports landscape in the Island, as well as a written consultation process, will be undertaken as part of the review. The cost of the commissioned work is £12,000, plus any costs associated with the two planned visits to the Island to conduct face-to-face consultation.
