WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR INFRASTRUCTURE
BY DEPUTY M.R. HIGGINS OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 12th FEBRUARY 2019
Question
Will the Minister undertake a Pareto analysis' of the work of his department in order that members may understand –
- whether 20% of items (other than staffing) cost his department 80% of its non-staff budget and if so, what those items are; and
- whether his department spends 80% of its time addressing 20% of the matters which it works on and if so, what those matters are?
Answer
Under the new Growth, Housing and Environment department I do not have a specific departmental budget. Areas of my remit are split between the Operations and Transport', Property and Special Projects' and Regulation' divisions and some of the former budget of the Department for Infrastructure has been transferred to other areas of the States (Strategic Policy, Performance and Population, States Treasury and Exchequer, for example).
We have not undertaken a Pareto analysis and in such a period of change it is difficult to see how such an analysis could be beneficial on a historic basis. A high level analysis of the work of the new Growth, Housing and Environment department can be found in the Transition Report (R155/2018, presented to the States by the Minister for Treasury and Resources on 17 December 2018).
