Insurance Budget Transfer to Restructuring Provision - CSR

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While there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.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:  Non Recurring budget transfer from the Department of the Environment Revenue Head of Expenditure for the realignment of the Department’s Insurance budget and other minor budget reductions in accordance with procurement savings identified for CSR purposes

Decision(s):  The Minister for Planning and Environment approved a non-recurring budget transfer from DotE revenue head of expenditure to central restructuring provision in the sum of £37,100.

Reason(s) for Decision:  As part of the States-wide CSR initiative in 2012 it was identified that significant savings were achievable in departments as a result of changes in the States Insurance programme and other savings identified by Corporate Procurement.  The savings have been included in the cash limits for 2013-15 in the MTFP, but need to be transferred to the Restructuring Provision for 2012.

Resource Implications:  The Department of the Environment revenue head of expenditure to reduce by £37,100 and the Restructuring Provision to increase by the same amount.

Action required:  To transfer the net savings of £37,100 from the Department of the Environment to the Restructuring Provision.
