Will support promoting care work as a career to provide tailored, well-paid care for over-65s living independently.
No recorded vote yet
“By supporting the promotion of 'Caring as a Career' within the Community, those over 65's, who need support to live independently, would get tailored care provided by a well-paid and skilled workforce.” — Raluca Stefana Kovacs, 2022-2026 election manifesto
No evidence was found across statesassembly.je Hansard, gov.je, the Jersey Evening Post, Bailiwick Express, or Reform Jersey records that Deputy Kovacs lodged a proposition, oral or written question, or pursued any formal initiative specifically promoting 'Caring as a Career' or a community care workforce strategy for over-65s during the 2022–2026 term. Her documented legislative record focused on GST food exemption, neonatal care support, athlete funding, social housing rents, and a youth centre amendment — none of which address this promise. Kovacs served as a backbench member of the Public Accounts Committee and did not hold a health or social care ministerial role that could have driven such policy from within government.
