WQ.41/2020
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES
BY DEPUTY G.P. SOUTHERN OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 21st JANUARY 2020
Question
Further to the response to Written Question 546/2019, will the Minister state what funding is in place for the short-term and long-term delivery of the care model?
Answer
Funding options for the Jersey Care Model (JCM) will be considered and modelled in the coming months and accelerate when the work of the Health planners and economists is able to quantify the costs and the opportunities for improved efficiency within the JCM. The independent review of the Care Model must come first. As stated in the answer to WQ 537/2019 in December 2019:
Early work indicated that significant costs could be reduced via transferring settings of care out of the hospital and re-invested. During the transformation phase, there will be a need to fund transformation – pump-priming services to get them started – which the Health Insurance Fund may provide.'
