WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE HEALTH, SOCIAL SECURITY AND HOUSING SCRUTINY PANEL

BY DEPUTY M. TADIER OF ST. BRELADE

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 21st FEBRUARY 2012

Question

What plans, if any, does the panel have to hold a review into the approximately £7 million of taxpayers' money that is being given to private landlords every year through the payment of income support housing rebate?

Answer

Quarterly Public Hearings have been held with the Ministers of Health and Social Services, Social Security and Housing to discuss department priorities over the next 3 years. In particular, we have discussed with each Minister, the specific aims and objectives contained in their respective Departmental Business Plans for 2012. We have also requested work programmes from each department to assist us in the development of our 12 month review programme which in due course will be published on the Scrutiny website.
