Jersey's health minister has come under fire for refusing to consult the public on plans to restructure the island's health service. The proposed changes, announced by deputy Tom Binet, involve separating the health service from the government and establishing a new board to manage it through a separate fund. This move has sparked controversy, with many calling for greater transparency and community involvement in the decision-making process. As the island's health service faces significant reforms, the minister's decision not to engage with the public has raised concerns about accountability and patient care. Healthcare reform and public consultation are crucial issues in this debate.
