WQ.422/2025
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER
BY DEPUTY I. GARDINER OF ST. HELIER NORTH QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 3rd NOVEMBER 2025 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 10th NOVEMBER 2025
Question
"Will the Chief Minister provide details, in the form of a table, of the 2026 funding allocation to each of the Common Strategic Policies broken down to service level lines?"
Answer
This Council of Minister's 2025 Budget provided £8.2m of additional funding to deliver the recently approved Common Strategic Policy. The proposed Budget 2026 – 2029 builds on this by allocating a further £10m to support these priorities, as detailed in the table below. This is in addition to capital investment, most notably £174.7m for the new hospital allocated for 2026.
Work is also taking place across Government to support the Common Strategic Policy within established base budgets. For example, the most recent progress report on "Tackling Violence Against Women and Girls" outlines work by the States of Jersey Police, schools, and our health services, amongst others. This collective approach is replicated in other areas, for example, all Departments are working to reduce regulation and support our economy.
It is important to note that the Government does not produce budget allocations by service level lines for each Common Strategic Policy. Instead, funding is embedded within Departmental base budgets and aligned with Ministerial responsibilities. These budgets are analysed and presented in the proposed Budget 2026 – 2029 by Department, Minister, and Service, rather than by individual policy priority or service line.
