The aim of the review was to identify whether the process that the States of Guernsey (the States’) currently has in place to process requests for capital funding, is fit for purpose.
Description
The review considered a number of sources of evidence produced by a desktop review of the information available and a consultation exercise which produced evidence from existing government Committees, current States Members, former States Members, relevant professionals and senior government staff working in this area.
The review concluded that there is no evidence that the change of approach to capital spending and the process introduced in 2013 and its subsequent iterations, has aided the speed with which the States can allocate capital expenditure. On the contrary, consultees believe that the approach adopted in 2013 has actually created barriers of process that has led to, or exacerbated, delays.
