Health service cannot continue as it is - GP https://t.co/bbL87IW6La

Our latest special report ahead of the election looks at concerns around Jersey’s health service.

While many islanders have benefitted from life saving treatment at the hospital we spoke to patients who felt let down and say “the health system needs a shake up”

[Ammar Ebrahim @aebrahim93]

A strong statement from the Jersey Election Authority on misinformation

“Misleading information can become a poison to our Island electoral process. It is neither clever, nor funny, nor an aid to any elector or candidate. It threatens to diminish the whole process of elections”

Voter turnout in Jersey has averaged 44% in the last 30 years - one of the lowest in the world.

In our latest special election report we look at the reasons why political apathy in Jersey is so high

[Ammar Ebrahim @aebrahim93]

And there is a perception that election candidates aren’t coming up with solutions to tackle the cost of living

[Ammar Ebrahim @aebrahim93]

The first of our special election reports.

We spoke to families, businesses and community groups about how the cost of living is effecting them.

The children’s commissioner told me that child poverty levels in Jersey are a huge red flag for any society.

The children’s commissioner told me that child poverty levels in Jersey are a ‘huge red flag for any society.’

Dr Corrigan said it must be a key priority for the next set of politicians to tackle. https://t.co/wGvTNkrsdU

Tourism and the cost of living were the big concerns in St Helier South this morning.

One tourism industry leader told me: “Those French visitors which fill the town up and fill the shops and restaurants, they've gone, they're all in Guernsey.” https://t.co/WtnHAVU0tX

[Ammar Ebrahim @aebrahim93]

One charity told me the number of families using food banks has more than trebled since 2022.

And a community advocate told me that members of the Portuguese community are going back to Madeira because of the cost of living https://t.co/hR4YyB9aXt

[Ammar Ebrahim @aebrahim93]
