Information and public services for the Island of Jersey

L'înformâtion et les sèrvices publyis pouor I'Île dé Jèrri

Health Care (Registration) (No. 5) (Jersey) 201- Regulations 201-

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there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

Decision and reason for the decision

The Deputy Chief Minister, in the temporary absence of the Chief Minister, approved for lodging “au Greffe” the Draft Health Care (Registration) (No. 5) (Jersey) Regulations 201-

 

These draft Regulations are required to amend the list of health care professionals who are required to register with the Care Commission under the Health Care (Registration) (Jersey) Law 1995 in order to practise in Jersey.  This will enable pharmacists, physiotherapists, podiatrists, optometrists, paramedics and therapeutic radiographers to prescribe prescription only medicines to the same degree that they can in the UK.

 

Resource implications: There are no resource implications arising from this Ministerial Decision.

Action required

The Greffier of the States is requested to arrange to lodge “au Greffe” the Draft Health Care (Registration) (No. 5) (Jersey) Regulations 201- with a view to the Regulations being debated at the earliest possible date.
