WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES BY SENATOR B.E. SHENTON
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 9th MARCH 2010
Question
How many recommendations of the report prepared by Mr. Adrian Lucas on the States of Jersey Ambulance Service completed in June 2008 (the Lucas Report') have still to be implemented?
Answer
Mr Lucas reported on his review of the Ambulance and Patient Transport Services in June 2008. The report was commissioned as a result of issues arising from pay talks and in particular the roles and responsibilities of Paramedics and Technicians.
In his report, Mr Lucas made a total of nineteen firm recommendations and a lesser number of observations. Of these recommendations, ten are completed. Five are on going, to be completed in due course, and of these, four relate to terms and conditions of employment.
The four remaining recommendations from the original nineteen are rejected at the present time. Three are considered as aspirational and unlikely to be realised in the current financial climate, whilst the remaining one is not considered appropriate for the local setting.
