WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES

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

QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 5th JUNE 2023

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 12th JUNE 2023

Question

“In light of the measurement of the Jersey Health Account currently being undertaken by the Health Economics Unit, will the Minister advise whether the total cost of the care sector undertaken by agencies in the community, both funded and voluntary, is available?”

Answer

The Jersey Health Accounts (JHA), when available, will identify long term care costs distinctly from other costs. A range of other breakdowns in cost information will also be reported, including, at an aggregate level, charitable and personal contributions to the funding of care.

At this time, the JHA is not yet finalised. Information is to follow on the timing and form of publication for all outputs of the Health Funding Reform project.
