Review of the Government Plan 2022-25

I write to you following the recently lodged P.90/2021 - Government Plan 2022 – 2025 and to inform you of the Panel's intention to look further into various projects listed therein namely:

Emergency and Urgent Care Vehicle Replacement (page 47 Government Plan 2022-25)

In the Government Plan 2022-25, the Panel notes the project GP22-CSP2-3-08 Emergency and Urgent Care Vehicle Replacement' which will replace vehicles for the Ambulance Service and the Fire & Rescue Service.  

  • Please can you provide more context about the "corporate decision to move fleet assets from capital purchasing to leasing through Jersey Fleet Management", as set out on page 47 of the Government Plan 2022-25?
  • Has this decision resulted in any additional costs?
