Social Security under-spend allocated to Long Term Care Fund (P.140/2013)

A formal published “Ministerial Decision” is required as a record of the decision of a Minister (or an Assistant Minister where they have delegated authority) as they exercise their responsibilities and powers.

Ministers are elected by the States Assembly and have legal responsibilities and powers as “corporation sole” under the States of Jersey Law 2005 by virtue of their office and in their areas of responsibility, including entering into agreements, and under any legislation conferring on them powers.

An accurate record of “Ministerial Decisions” is vital to effective governance, including:

  • demonstrating that good governance, and clear lines of accountability and authority, are in place around decisions-making – including the reasons and basis on which a decision is made, and the action required to implement a decision

  • providing a record of decisions and actions that will be available for examination by States Members, and Panels and Committees of the States Assembly; the public, organisations, and the media; and as a historical record and point of reference for the conduct of public affairs

Ministers are individually accountable to the States Assembly, including for the actions of the departments and agencies which discharge their responsibilities.

The Freedom of Information Law (Jersey) Law 2011 is used as a guide when determining what information is be published. While there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

Subject: Departmental under-spend allocation to create payments into the LTC Fund (2013) as per the Addendum to P.140/2013 Long-Term Care (States Contribution) (Jersey) Regulations 201-

Decision(s): The Minister approved the allocation of Departmental underspend to create payments into the LTC Fund. In order to satisfy the requirements of the Public Finances (Jersey) Law 2005 the payment in 2013 will be accounted for as a grant from the Social Security Department revenue head of expenditure to the Long Term Care Fund.

Reason(s) for Decision: Until the LTC contribution rate is set at 1% in 2016, additional payments into the LTC Fund will be needed to ensure that the LTC scheme can operate. As detailed in P.140/2013 (Add) the estimated SSD budgetary value to be allocated as payment into the LTC Fund in 2013 is £11.7m.

Resource Implications: None.

Action required: The SSD Director of Finance and Governance to notify the Head of Financial Planning, Treasury and the SSD Finance Manager that this decision has been approved. Copy of signed decision to be submitted to the Treasury Department.
