WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR JUSTICE AND HOME AFFAIRS

BY DEPUTY M.B. ANDREWS OF ST HELIER NORTH

QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 25th NOVEMBER 2024 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 2nd DECEMBER 2024

Question

"Will the Minister advise whether she is considering any changes in policies or procedures in light of the recent verdict that found two Jersey paramedics guilty of not providing reasonable care; and if not, why not?"

Answer

A review of any relevant Policies is being undertaken.

The Ambulance Service is commissioning an independent Serious Incident (SI) review in conjunction with Health and Community Services.

An SI is a process used to identify learning from such incidents through an open no blame process to ensure all learning opportunities are identified and action plans can be put in place. Any recommendations from this review will be acted upon, including any further reviews of policies and procedures if required.

There will be an Inquest, and the Ambulance Service will be providing the appointed Coroner with any information that is requested and will act on any findings.
