Pharmaceutical Adviser Services - contract renewal

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While there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

Janice Waddell, Policy Principal

Decision(s):

To approve a contract with InPAx for the provision of Pharmaceutical Advisory Services to encourage more efficient and effective management of medicines in the primary care sector.

Reason(s) for decision:

The Department needs independent pharmaceutical advice both to fulfil the constitution of the Pharmaceutical Benefit Advisory Committee and to promote the cost-effective use of prescription medicines funded by the Health Fund.

For the past 5 years Paul McManus has successfully provided this support.

In response to the PWC report to increase support to local prescribers, Mr McManus has submitted a proposal for an extended and more inclusive service to meet the needs of the Department and to further reduce the cost of subsidising medicines to the general public by working directly with prescribers and pharmacists.

Action required:

The Minister is asked to approve and sign the contract with InPAx for the provision of Pharmaceutical Advisory Services.

Signature:

(Minister/ Assistant Minister)
