WQ.388/2020

WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES

BY THE CONNÉTABLE OF ST. MARTIN

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 20th OCTOBER 2020

Question

Will the Minister provide –

a table of the planned year-on-year funding for the General Hospital's Assisted Reproduction Unit in the proposed Government Plan 2021-24; and
confirmation of whether there is currently any intention to increase funding or support for the Unit as part of any future Government Plan before 2025?

Answer

We are currently undertaking a strategic review of the Assisted Reproduction Unit in Jersey which includes activity, cost, patient experience and tertiary/off island pathways to the UK. This will include public, staff and stakeholder group engagement as part of the review. Once concluded (by January 2021), we will then be able to confirm service plans for the future. The service would be funded through the HCS base budget and so would not feature in the Government Plan proposals.
