Receipt of private funding in relation to Covid-19 (FOI)

Receipt of private funding in relation to Covid-19 (FOI)

Produced by the Freedom of Information office
Authored by Government of Jersey and published on 22 July 2021.
Prepared internally, no external costs.

Request

Is the Jersey Hospital receiving any private / external money related to Covid-19. In particular, is Ivan Muscat receiving private money, for PCR testing for example.

Response

Yes, Health and Community Services receive a proportion of income which fully offsets associated laboratory costs in relation to PCR testing of private patients for Covid-19. This is in line with existing arrangements for private pathology test charges.

In accordance with the Private Patient Tariff, consultants receive a proportion of the income for private pathology tests always ensuring that the costs to the Department of the test are fully met. This is consistent with the pre-existing process around pathology activity relating to private patients.
