WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR EDUCATION BY DEPUTY J.A. HILTON OF ST. HELIER

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 17th JANUARY 2017

Question

Further to figures contained in Jersey Health Profile 2016' which showed that 32% of 10 and 11 year olds are either overweight or obese, will the Minister advise whether he has considered, or discussed with other relevant Ministers, the future use of the existing Police Headquarters with a view to extending and improving the amount of outside space available to the children of Rouge Bouillon School and thereby having a positive impact on the health of those children?

Answer

Additional play space for Rouge Bouillon School would be very much welcomed, and the potential for using the emergency services site has already been recognised. Initial discussions have already taken place between representatives of the Education Department, Jersey Property Holdings, the school and the St Helier parish authorities to start exploring possibilities for future use. In the short term, a piece of land might be made available for the nursery and early years classes.
