Parker's 'One Gov' Plans Under Scrutiny

Thursday, 10 January 2019 14:01

A review's been called into the States CEO's government restructuring.

Charlie Parker brought in sweeping changes when he was appointed as the island's most senior civil servant last year.

Scrutiny will examine the new departments, work to transform the "Team Jersey" culture and plans to overhaul public sector spending.

The review will be led by Senator Kristina Moore, who chairs the Corporate Services Scrutiny Panel.

She says it's important the review takes place to ensure transparency of decisions being made:

"The One Government reform programme is a fundamental re-organisation of the structure and operation of the States. Our review will look at the rationale for the new structure and the implications for the delivery of public services, as well as the political accountability for the changes.”
