The Council of Ministers has set out 12 priorities in the Proposed Common Strategic Policy 2024 to 2026, which was lodged on Tuesday 9 April 2024.
It outlines benefits for:
Households
Transition to a living wage, reduce GP costs, and keep Government fees, duties, and charges as low as possible.
Families
Make nutritious school meals available in all States primary schools and extend nursery and childcare provision.
Patients and care providers
Deliver urgent improvements in our health services and begin construction of a new hospital at Overdale.
Islanders
Provide more affordable homes, deliver a new licensing scheme for rented accommodation, deliver a new Residential Tenancy Law to improve arrangements for both tenants and landlords, and review the social rents policy to prioritise those in greatest need.
Businesses
Remove unnecessary bureaucracy, focus on skills development, improve the planning processes and create incentives to strengthen Jersey’s reputation as a stable and well-regulated place to do business.
Community
Deliver a plan to revitalise town and implement measures to adopt the recommendations of the Violence Against Women and Girls Taskforce report.
Alongside these priorities, business as usual activities will continue across the public sector, including meeting our commitments to address climate change through the Carbon Neutral Roadmap.
