Deputy Louise Doublet, head of Jersey's Health and Social Scrutiny Panel, praised Health Minister Tom Binet for acknowledging women's health challenges after a public hearing. Despite positive progress, concerns remain regarding Binet's suggestion to utilize governmental reserves for funding, as well as the scrapping of the women's health strategy. Binet emphasized the need for over 100 million pounds in five years to improve preventative care. The meeting highlighted cultural issues affecting women's healthcare, prompting Doublet to express vigilance in monitoring future developments in this area.
"I think the minister is starting to take women's health more seriously but there is a way to go. It's good that the minister has accepted the findings of the public health report into women's health."
"We are oversubscribed last year on our budget and we were oversubscribed this year, and it's not because of a lack of commitment to women's health."
