WQ.427/2025
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES
BY DEPUTY M.B. ANDREWS OF ST HELIER NORTH
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 17th NOVEMBER 2025
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 24th NOVEMBER 2025
Question
"Will the Minister advise whether he has considered, or plans to consider, the privatisation or outsourcing of any sections of the health service and, if so, provide details of the specific sections and the reasoning behind such consideration?"
Answer
There are no plans to privatise the health service.
In terms of outsourcing', HCJ is, and has been for many years, reliant on a range of different providers to deliver publicly funded services, whether they are on-island (e.g. Family Nursing & Home Care) or off- island (specialist centres). As part of the ongoing commitment to improving patient safety, service quality and Island system long-term sustainability I am actively engaged in a process of reviewing the UK-based providers we use to deliver specialist services that cannot be delivered in Jersey. These are, and will remain, publicly funded.
