Report from the Head of Health Protection
to the Minister for Health and Social Services
TITLE: Health Care (Registration) (Jersey) Law 1995 - Proposal to remove names from the register
Statutory Framework
It is a requirement of the Health Care (Registration) (Jersey) Law 1995 as amended, that people engaged in occupations relating to health care are registered by the Minister for Health and Social Services. Those who are registered are thereafter required to renew the registration annually under Article 5(2) which states:
“An application for renewal of registration shall be made in the month of December and, if the application is not made in that month, the Committee may direct that the name of the registered person be removed from the register.”
The legislation further states under Article 5(1):
“An application for registration or renewal of registration shall-
(a) be in the form required from time to time by the Committee;
(b) contain or be accompanied by such particulars as the Committee may require;
(c) be verified in such a manner and to such an extent as the Committee may require”
Article 3(1)(b) sets out the qualifications for registration
“Subject to the provisions of this Law, a person shall be entitled to be registered in respect of a registrable occupation if he or she satisfies the Minister that – (b) he or she holds a prescribed qualification;”
Annual Renewal Procedure
A renewal application form and letter was sent to all those on the Register in October 2008. A follow-up letter, explaining the requirement that the completed application form must be received by 31 December 2008, was sent to those who had not responded in November 2008. This letter specified that if the application to renew was not received by the required date, that the Minister for Health and Social Services may direct their name to be removed from the register.
By the beginning of January 2009, there were 19 people who contacted the department, in writing, to ask for their name to be removed from the register. 96 people made no contact with the department regarding renewal of their registration; all were confirmed as not working for HSSD, the majority of whom are thought to have left the Island. Following a routine check 4 applicants for registration were no longer registered with the NMC / HPC, therefore do not hold the prescribed qualification and are ineligible for registration for 2009. None of these 4 work for HSSD.
In accordance with the Health and Social Services Committee decision in September 2005 regarding the procedure for re-registration, a letter was sent to all non responders and ineligible applicants by recorded delivery, on 2 January 2009 informing them that they are not registered for 2009 in accordance with previous advice of Crown Advocate, Sally Sharpe. The decision to remove a registrant’s name from the register however remains with the Minister.
Recommendation:
The Minister is asked to approve the removal from the Health Care Register the people listed in Appendices 1, 2 and 3.
