WQ.270/2025
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES
BY DEPUTY J. RENOUF OF ST. BRELADE
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 9th JUNE 2025
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 16th JUNE 2025
Question
"Further to his response to Oral Question 131/2025, regarding appointments to senior roles in Health and his meeting with the Chair of the Jersey Appointments Commission, will the Minister –
- state whether a civil servant was present at the meeting;
- advise whether minutes were taken and, if so, whether he will publish them; and
- advise whether he will request that two non-executive directors from the Health and Social Services Advisory Board be included on selection panels for other roles, in addition to the Chair of the Partnership Board, as mentioned at the Minister's public hearing on 20th May 2025, and, if so, which roles?"
Answer
- A civil servant was not present when I met with the Chair of the Appointments Commission.
- No minutes were taken.
- The Chair of JAC has agreed a twelve-month trial of including two non-executive directors in senior HCJ roles for e.g. Finance Director etc. This accords with JAC Guidance. It is of note that non-executive directors are routinely involved in National Health Service appointments in the UK at senior levels.
