As reported by the BBC, a scheme offering free appointments for children visiting GPs in Jersey has begun
The government said children would receive free face-to-face and phone consultations with GPs, nurses, paramedics, pharmacists and health care assistants.
The States Assembly agreed to provide the services for free in December 2022, and confirmed it would be funded by the Health Insurance Fund for children and young people.
Deputy Elaine Millar, minister for social security, said it would “make primary care services more accessible and invest in the health and well-being of islanders”.
The Primary Care Body, representing Jersey GPs, said it would allow young people to access services “without worrying about fees”.
“This joint commitment ensures that we can continue to provide high quality family medicine whilst removing barriers.”
