Senator Kristina Moore
Chair, Government Plan Review Panel States Greffe: Scrutiny
Morier House
St Helier

29 Aug 2019 Dear Chair,
Government Plan – Efficiencies
Thank you for your letter of 21 August 2019.
You will recall the Government Plan highlighted on page 111 that the Efficiencies Plan would be presented to the Council of Ministers in October 2019 and made available for the States Assembly prior to the debate on the Government Plan, that is the timetable we continue to working to.
I can, however, inform you that further details on the efficiencies and their impact on departmental spend will be presented to the One Gov Political Oversight Group (OGPOG) and the Council of Ministers (COM) over the next couple of weeks; greater clarity will then be available to Scrutiny Members. As a consequence, once COM has had the opportunity, on 18 September, to finalise and agree the further details, I will arrange for an interim report to be sent through for your consideration alongside the Government Plan.
The final report on the Efficiencies Plan for 2020-2023, detailing how the £40m of efficiencies will be delivered in 2020 and the proposed full impact on departments' 2020 budgets will be available by the end of October 2019, in readiness for the States Assembly debate on the Government Plan in November. This will be a full month before the Debate in the Assembly. The report will also set out the long-term approach to delivering efficiencies for the remaining Government Plan period.
I hope that this clarifies matters relating to the proposed timelines as referenced in the Government Plan. Yours sincerely
Senator John Le Fondré Chief Minister
