WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES

BY DEPUTY G.P. SOUTHERN OF ST. HELIER CENTRAL

QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 8th DECEMBER 2025

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 15th DECEMBER 2025

Question

"Will the Minister advise what work, if any, has been undertaken in relation to the implementation of a Jersey Ethical Care Charter, as adopted in P.48/2017 (as amended), and if no work has been undertaken, will he explain why not?"

Answer

No work has been undertaken in relation to the development and implementation of a Jersey Ethical Care Charter since I became Minister for Health and Social Services due to other priorities.

Matters related to recruitment and retention of health and care workforce, including within the domiciliary care sector which is the focus of the proposed Jersey Ethical Care Charter, will be a matter for future discussion and consideration by the Health and Care Jersey Partnership Board. I look forward to receiving their recommendations on workforce matters.
