Future Hospital Programme salary spending

​October 2025 

Request 744353154 

I would like to request the following information under the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 in relation to the Future Hospital Programme (sometimes referred to as the Our Hospital or New Healthcare Facilities Programme, depending on naming in internal documentation): 

1. Please provide a monthly breakdown of salaries paid to the programme/project team staff. If disclosure of individual staff salaries is not permitted, please provide the combined monthly total for the entire project team instead.

2. Please confirm the total amount spent on salaries for the project team (combined total for all staff) since the programme began, up to the most recent available date. If possible, please also specify whether these totals include seconded civil servants, external consultants, or agency staff, or if those are accounted for separately. I would prefer to receive the information in an electronic format (such as Excel or PDF).  

Response 

The Government of Jersey is unable to provide information relating to individual staff salaries, as this constitutes personal data and is exempt under Article 25 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011. 

We are, however, able to provide the collective staff costs from the start of 2023, to reflect the start of spending on the current programme (‘New Healthcare Facilities Programme’).  

These figures represent the collective monthly salary expenditure figures for the programme team and include all internal GOJ project team staff, seconded staff working on project and any temporary/contract/agency staff. They do not include consultants or professional and specialist fees.  

Article applied  

Article 25 - Personal information 

(1) Information is absolutely exempt information if it constitutes personal data of which the 

applicant is the data subject as defined in the Data Protection (Jersey) Law 2005. 

(2) Information is absolutely exempt information if – 

(a) it constitutes personal data of which the applicant is not the data subject as defined in the Data Protection (Jersey) Law 2005; and

(b) its supply to a member of the public would contravene any of the data protection principles, as defined in that Law. 

3) In determining for the purposes of this Article whether the lawfulness principle in Article 8(1)(a) of the Data Protection (Jersey) Law 2018 would be contravened by the disclosure of information, paragraph 5(1) of Schedule 2 to that Law (legitimate interests) is to be read as if sub-paragraph (b) (which disapplies the provision where the controller is a public authority) were omitted. ​
