:01:04. > :01:09.island but instead of being put up in hotels, a new accommodation

:03:21. > :03:26.been nice enough to take on three taxes to advertise on. That is a
:03:26. > :03:31.financial boost to us because it fills the funding that was required

:03:48. > :03:51.The spending plan for Jersey States is almost past. The states have one
:03:51. > :03:55.amendment to debate. The business plan includes efficiency savings

:04:00. > :04:06.biggest spending priorities for 2012 is for the health department
:04:06. > :04:11.that will get an extra �4.5 million. In a moment, we will hear more

:04:14. > :04:21.future for health. For it is the department deemed in
:04:21. > :04:24.most need of investment bet half will always be making savings. One
:04:24. > :04:28.idea is introducing joint health initiatives that Guernsey, like
:04:28. > :04:33.sharing an air ambulance and Children's Services. Jersey's
:04:33. > :04:41.Health Minister says services won't suffer. The most important thing is
:04:41. > :04:48.they can't suffer. That is the wrong way to go. To pick the air
:04:48. > :04:53.ambulance, it is improving the service. By having and using a
:04:53. > :04:58.company that can service the two Channel Islands, we can get an
:04:58. > :05:02.improved service. Other measures include making sure people don't
:05:02. > :05:07.use A&E when they should be given to their doctors, revealing
:05:07. > :05:13.management posts and reducing energy consumption. There is
:05:14. > :05:18.investment. Health is getting a �4.5 million extra cash next year.
:05:18. > :05:24.8 million of that is to help retain and recruit doctors and nurses.
:05:24. > :05:29.Unions fear it is not enough. it will go some way to helping
:05:29. > :05:34.devise schemes to attract people. I don't think it is the only answer.
:05:34. > :05:41.There is other things we need to look at. We need to look at the
:05:41. > :05:45.whole concept of how Nursing's -- nurses are paid for on the island.
:05:45. > :05:51.The theme of next year's business plan is delivering services for
:05:51. > :05:58.less. That is the case here at health. The minister Deputy says
:05:58. > :06:04.they can deliver their savings. So much so, she has not ruled out
:06:04. > :06:12.free-standing as minister in the new Government.

:07:06. > :07:11.have been informed of the endorsement of Our Zero Ten
:07:11. > :07:16.proposals which give our economy a boost for the future. We will need

:07:28. > :07:35.What to challenges can you see ahead? The increase in pressure on
:07:35. > :07:39.capital spending, there is a range of the capital spending schemes we
:07:40. > :07:46.need to do. They become more expensive. Funding these will take
:07:46. > :07:51.some imaginative approaches. Talking about imagination, what we

:08:33. > :08:38.is not always the case on the roads where the traffic doesn't always
:08:39. > :08:43.abate the 30 mph speed limit. The section of road is most likely to

:08:47. > :08:53.would record the offender to be dealt with by the police, unlike
:08:53. > :08:57.the UK where they will be issued with a fine. Residents felt speed

:09:38. > :09:42.The imposition of speed cameras would require a change in the law.
:09:42. > :09:48.That will take time and I suspect it will not be universally

:09:56. > :10:01.rest of the island will be looking Now, are more cockles dying on
:10:01. > :10:06.Jersey's beaches? One fisherman say so. Pete Gosselin says the way it
:10:06. > :10:12.seaweed is being piled up on the beach of Grovehill, it is killing
:10:12. > :10:16.more cockles than last. It is claimed the rotting seaweed is to
:10:16. > :10:21.blame. He says the smell is horrendous.
:10:21. > :10:26.For the problem is when they move it, they collect a lot of sand with
:10:26. > :10:32.it that leads to the piles of rotting seaweed. It rocks down and
:10:32. > :10:40.the road Bickleigh and produces a toxic liquid. As the tides
:10:40. > :10:45.uncovered the weeds, the stench can be overpowering.
:10:45. > :10:51.The States say that is not the case. They say it is unlikely there is a
:10:51. > :10:57.relationship between seaweed and cockle deaths. We do see the DAI
:10:57. > :11:03.Office of various species on the beach. More often it is called --
:11:03. > :11:07.caused by weather conditions. That stirs the sediment and sometimes
:11:07. > :11:12.the thing that live in the sediment can get exposed and they can die

:11:26. > :11:30.the rest of this week. Things turn unsettled as we head into the
