WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES BY DEPUTY K.G. PAMPLIN OF ST. SAVIOUR

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 16th JULY 2019

Question

Will the Minister provide an update on the 2017 Jersey Carers Strategy, including progress towards achieving any outstanding goals and targets set within the Strategy and any legislation that is due to be brought forward as a consequence?

Answer

The Carers' Strategy was developed and published by the Jersey Association of Carers Incorporated (JACI) in June 2017, shortly after the Government published the first Disability Strategy for the island.

Both strategies have been fully considered by Ministers in the development of the Common Strategic Policy and the forthcoming Government Plan. As Minister for Health and Social Services, I have supported the allocation of resources within the draft Government Plan towards these important areas.

The Government Plan will give details of funding and resources from 2020 onwards and will be published in due course.
