WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT 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 One Government target operating model I do not have a department, as historically understood. My environment portfolio activities are now predominantly undertaken within the Growth, Housing and Environment, and Strategic Policy, Performance and Population departments. Under One Government, departments work collaboratively to deliver Council of Ministers priorities.
We have not undertaken a Pareto analysis of my environment portfolio activities and I do not believe such a review would be beneficial at this time of significant change and limited resources.
