Response

A

The selection process for the Our Hospital Citizens’ Panel is still ongoing. Due to the high level of public interest in this project, the Government is aware of the potential for influence or political pressure upon members of the Our Hospital Citizens’ Panel. Therefore, once the panel has been selected, their first responsibility will be to agree their terms of reference and decide whether their identities will be published.

B

The selection methodology for the Our Hospital Citizens’ Panel is published on www.gov.je. at the following link:
