1.  Medium Term Financial Plan Addition

The Panel met and discussed how it intended to proceed having held the public hearings. It recognised that it did wish to visit the library and a date for such a visit was to be arranged.

In  discussing  the  meetings  with  union  representatives,  it  was recognised that the Panel still had to meet the Police and Fire Service Association representatives. The Panel set various tasks for the review. In realizing that some of the savings would impact directly on children in Jersey,  the  Panel  decided  to  contact  Professor  E Wood,  who  had assisted them in a previous review, to establish how a reduction in pay for  newly  qualified  teachers  might  impact  on  Jersey  children, recruitment  and retention  of teachers  and  how  pay  was  ranked  by teachers. The Panel approved £600 per day for two days work, should she  accept  the  engagement.  The  scoping  document  was  to  be amended and sent to Chairmen's Committee to reflect this change.

The Panel recalled that it intended to take a summer break during most of August and cancelled its provisional booking for a meeting on 15th August 2016.
