Transfer of 1 post and associated budget to Treasury and Resources for Accounts Receivable Services

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While there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.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:  Transfer of 1 FTE and associated funding of £36,600 per annum from Health and Social Services (HSSD) to the Treasury and Resources Department (TRD) to support the Accounts Receivable function supplied to HSSD by TRD.

 

Officer recommendation:  The Minister is recommended to approve the transfer of 1 FTE and a budget transfer of £24,400 (May to December) in 2017 and £36,600 recurrently from 2018 from HSSD to the Treasury and Resources Department.

 

Decision(s): The Minister approved the transfer of 1 FTE and a budget transfer of £24,400 (May to December) in 2017 and £36,600 recurrently from 2018 from HSSD to the Treasury and Resources Department.

 

Reason(s) for Decision: To enable the transfer of 1 FTE and associated budget to support the increased scope of the accounts receivable services supplied to HSSD.

 

Article 18(1)(c) of the Public Finances (Jersey) 2005 states that all or any part of the amount appropriated by a head of expenditure may, with the approval of the Minister for Treasury and Resources, be used for the purposes of another head of expenditure. Delegation 1.2 delegates authority for non-contentious transfers between heads of expenditure of up to £1,000,000 to the Treasurer of the States.

 

To comply with P.67/1999 which charges the Minister for Treasury and Resources to regulate the number of persons that may be employed by the States and delegation 2.3 in which authority is delegated to the Treasurer of the States for agreeing non-contentious increases to States staffing levels.

 

Resource Implications:  There is no impact on the approved revenue expenditure or approved FTE limits of the States. The H&SS revenue head of expenditure will decrease by £24,400 in 2017 and £36,600 recurrently from 2018, and by 1.0 FTE.  The Treasury and Resources approved revenue head of expenditure and FTE limit will increase by corresponding amounts.

 

Action required:   Assistant Director of Finance H&SS to advise the Head of Decision Support and request the approval of the Minister for Treasury and Resources for the transfer.  Senior Management Accountant – Corporate Group to implement this Decision on behalf of Treasury and Resources.
