Question

"Will the Minister confirm whether the former Chief Officer of Health and Community Services has returned to work following a period of medical leave; and will he state what work, if any, for the former Chief Officer has been tasked with, when he was tasked with it, and what his expected total renumeration will be until the end of his contract?"

Answer

The former Interim Chief Officer (CO) of Health and Care Jersey (H&CJ) returned to work in December 2024 following a period of medical leave.

He was tasked with some specific work areas to focus on for the period until the end of his contract in March 2025, including consolidation of the use of off-Island tertiary centres and UK health providers to help improve quality and value of services received; establishing a network of small island health and care service providers to enhance the exchange of solutions to increasing specialisation of care and rising costs; considering the further use of private insurance to support possible sustainable funding solutions for health and care; and providing advice and support to the current Chief Officer as required. These pieces of work were agreed on his return to work in December.

The expected total renumeration for the whole contact period of April 2024 to March 2025 inclusive is £294,765.
