:00:10. > :00:19.Our health in their hands - plans for a radical new health service go
:00:19. > :00:22.before politicians. It is something we have to do, and we should have
:00:22. > :00:26.done a long time ago. The time is right, and we need to address that
:00:26. > :00:32.early. Plus - why Guernsey Police is winning the online popularity
:00:32. > :00:35.contest - and why it's helping them fight crime. And a gem of Jersey
:00:35. > :00:45.industry and architecture has been gifted to the island - find out why
:00:45. > :00:48.
:00:48. > :00:52.Jersey's government has backed plans for a radical overhaul of the
:00:52. > :00:56.health system. The new model is all about care in the community and
:00:56. > :00:59.building a state-of-the-art new hospital. Today the Health Minister
:00:59. > :01:04.said the States had no option but to change the way they deliver
:01:04. > :01:06.health services - due to the aging population and spiralling costs.
:01:06. > :01:11.Fundamental changes in the way Jersey's health system is run have
:01:11. > :01:14.been debated today. An aging population, demand on services and
:01:14. > :01:21.increasing costs have forced the Health Minister to produce a new
:01:21. > :01:27.model. It focuses on care in the community, working closer with
:01:27. > :01:32.voluntary organisations. The Health Minister admits the plans are
:01:33. > :01:35.ambitious, but achievable. We want to be able to say if you're well
:01:36. > :01:39.lets get you back into the community, but lets give you the
:01:39. > :01:43.support that you need back in the community. We know that Family
:01:43. > :01:45.Nursing and all the other voluntary sectors do a good job but they
:01:45. > :01:51.don't offer twenty-four hour care and that's important, that's what
:01:51. > :01:56.we want to do. The department will now focus health care in five main
:01:57. > :02:03.areas: Healthy Lifestyles. Services for Children. Mental Health
:02:03. > :02:08.Services. Services in the Community. And the Hospital. The reforms also
:02:08. > :02:11.outline the need for a new hospital within the next ten years. Whether
:02:11. > :02:16.the existing site can be modernised or a new building is needed, the
:02:16. > :02:21.States have yet to decided. Costs have been estimated at around 430
:02:21. > :02:31.million pounds. Scrutiny members overseeing the proposals aren't
:02:31. > :02:34.convinced it's affordable. We have to say that the cost that was given
:02:34. > :02:37.to us last week was of the highest of specifications, the ministers
:02:37. > :02:40.very supportive of single bed units throughout the new hospital and if
:02:40. > :02:44.you look at the costs and think realistically about the adorability
:02:44. > :02:47.of this scheme, perhaps we may have to re-think on this decision. Today
:02:47. > :02:51.the States agreed in principle to approve the new Health Services
:02:52. > :03:01.proposals. But a decision on the whereabouts of the hospital has
:03:02. > :03:04.
:03:04. > :03:08.been postponed until more detailed The trial of a Jersey politician
:03:08. > :03:12.has begun at the Royal Court. Senator Alan Breckon is accused of
:03:12. > :03:14.assaulting former close friend and colleague Suzette Hayes. This
:03:14. > :03:17.afternoon Miss Hayes told the court Senator Breckon had drunk about
:03:17. > :03:22.three bottles of wine and began dancing before he groped her and
:03:22. > :03:25.seemed to try to kiss her. When she rejected this he slapped her and
:03:25. > :03:35.kicked her head at least four times. Senator Breckon denies the charge
:03:35. > :03:41.
:03:41. > :03:47.and the case continues. A 45 bed hotel is closing. The
:03:47. > :03:49.green acres will close at the end of the month. 45 jobs will go to
:03:49. > :03:53.redundancies. Police forces don't generally exist
:03:53. > :03:56.to be liked - or to make friends - but Guernsey Police is more popular
:03:56. > :04:00.than ever. Its Facebook page was only launched a few weeks ago but
:04:00. > :04:02.is now used regularly by more than two thousand people. The force says
:04:02. > :04:05.its their latest weapon in the war on crime.
:04:05. > :04:12.When this road collapsed last week Guernsey police needed to let
:04:12. > :04:16.islanders know it wasn't safe. So they turned to a new tool to do so.
:04:16. > :04:21.Social media. They are using facebook to get information out
:04:21. > :04:24.instantly and to reach more people. Whereas previously we would rely on
:04:24. > :04:34.the written or the listening media to get those broadcasts out, now we
:04:34. > :04:37.can go onto Facebook and it's instant for our users. I've got a
:04:37. > :04:41.seventeen-year old daughter, she's on Facebook she's become a user of
:04:41. > :04:45.our Guernsey Police Facebook Page. I think it's a perfect way to
:04:45. > :04:47.engage with younger members of the community as well as older members.
:04:47. > :04:50.More than two thousand people in Guernsey regularly look at the
:04:50. > :04:54.website. Some ask questions to which the Police are happy to
:04:54. > :05:01.respond - but there's a few who use it to show their dislike of the
:05:01. > :05:04.island's force. Generally we do have to have a thick skin. People
:05:04. > :05:07.are entitled to their opinions and provided that those opinions are
:05:07. > :05:10.constructive then, you know, people are entitled to them. People who
:05:10. > :05:19.are or wish to be abusive on the system, we've got the facility to
:05:19. > :05:22.block those people. But obviously we don't want to do that because
:05:22. > :05:25.people's opinions are valuable to us. The police say they need the
:05:25. > :05:31.publics help to police the island - and they hope communicating in this
:05:31. > :05:34.modern way will help make the conversations easier.
:05:34. > :05:38.Running a charity lottery is fraught with risks - according to
:05:38. > :05:41.the organiser of Guernsey's million pound lottery. Jack Honeybill, who
:05:41. > :05:47.ran the Les Bourg hospice draw, says the law is too restrictive and
:05:47. > :05:51.needs to change. The new Les Bourgs Hospice has been
:05:51. > :05:56.open for almost a year. It's a charity that relies on volunteers
:05:56. > :06:06.and donations from the community to survive. It cost �4m to redevelop,
:06:06. > :06:07.
:06:07. > :06:17.and the hospice was until recently still in debt. At a recent lottery
:06:17. > :06:18.
:06:18. > :06:21.has raised the French have and �40,000. -- The recent lottery has
:06:21. > :06:24.helped raise �340,000 which means the public has paid off the
:06:24. > :06:31.outstanding amount. But for the man responsible for the lottery he said
:06:31. > :06:35.it almost didn't happen. The cost of the tickets did not even cover
:06:35. > :06:39.the prizes. Because of that, and the fact we were really worried
:06:39. > :06:46.that we would be working all these hours and making no profit, that's
:06:46. > :06:49.when I decided to ask for a week extension. He says the law's too
:06:49. > :06:52.rigid and no longer fit for purpose for such big lotteries. For example
:06:52. > :06:55.he wasn't allowed to send lottery tickets out in the post. He also
:06:55. > :06:57.says because the lottery is considered as 'gambling' there are
:06:57. > :06:59.tight restrictions on selling tickets to young people. I
:06:59. > :07:01.contacted the Government Department responsible for lotteries who
:07:01. > :07:04.provided the following statement: "We are currently reviewing the
:07:04. > :07:06.gambling legislation and doing work with law officers to amend some
:07:06. > :07:12.legisltation. We are consulting with the gambling trade and with
:07:12. > :07:17.charities as well to seek their views." So the hospice has got the
:07:17. > :07:20.money it needs, by the skin of its teeth. People like Jack now hope
:07:20. > :07:26.the law can change to prevent other charities ending up in financial
:07:26. > :07:30.trouble. You're watching the BBC in the
:07:30. > :07:39.Channel Islands. Later in Spotlight with Justin and Victoria: After the
:07:39. > :07:42.deluge - the Flood victims fighting An archaeological treasure dating
:07:42. > :07:46.back hundreds of years has been donated to the National Trust of
:07:46. > :07:50.Jersey. The granite farmhouse has been preserved over the last few
:07:50. > :07:55.decades by a Jersey woman who lived there all her life - and wanted it
:07:55. > :07:59.to be kept in its original glory, Emma Chambers has been to see it.
:07:59. > :08:03.Hidden in it's own quiet valley lies an historic gem. An old Jersey
:08:03. > :08:06.granite farmhouse dating back five hundred years. In 1920 William
:08:06. > :08:11.Harrison Bailey bought the house after successfully setting up his
:08:11. > :08:13.own drapery shop. But the farmhouse's last owner was
:08:13. > :08:16.Williams' granddaughter, Adeline Mundy, who inherited the farmhouse
:08:16. > :08:26.along with the wooden chalet and the white house on the hill her
:08:26. > :08:28.
:08:28. > :08:34.grandfather built - and has now left it all to the National Trust.
:08:34. > :08:44.She was the only daughter, she was known to quite a few islanders as a
:08:44. > :08:50.teacher. This was her home for all that time. She died in her late 90s,
:08:50. > :08:56.she has been so deeply rooted in this house, she felt that the best
:08:56. > :09:00.way to preserve it was to give it to the National Trust for Jersey.
:09:00. > :09:03.And preserve it she has. Inside it's like stepping back into the
:09:03. > :09:09.30's and 40's with the unique decor and Jersey furniture. But it's
:09:09. > :09:14.outside the farmhouse that really shows it's age. The first thing
:09:14. > :09:19.that strikes you is the wonderfully arch the doorway, that is a sign
:09:19. > :09:25.that it comes from at least 500 years ago. We also have some very
:09:25. > :09:30.interesting chimney stacks, which day the house to the 14th or 15th
:09:30. > :09:34.century. It The trust will keep the property just as Adeline loved and
:09:34. > :09:38.left it. And although it will be rented out - this unique charming
:09:38. > :09:44.house will be open to the public once a year - so her lifetime of
:09:44. > :09:50.treasures can be admired by future generations.
:09:50. > :09:55.generations. Time for the weather now.
:09:55. > :10:02.We should have an improvement in visibility as we get to the end of
:10:02. > :10:08.tomorrow. Tonight, still a risk of some mist and fog. Overall it is
:10:08. > :10:14.improving tomorrow, some bright mess by the end of the day. Very
:10:14. > :10:18.light wind at the moment, that is not helping to shift that miss.
:10:18. > :10:23.That breeze will increase tomorrow, the high pressure is moving off to
:10:23. > :10:31.the West. Starting to see a change by the end of the week, a cold
:10:31. > :10:38.front heading towards us. Much cooler conditions as well. It has
:10:38. > :10:44.been quite mild with all of this cloud. Tonight, some drizzle, mild
:10:44. > :10:54.temperatures, 13-14 degrees. Generally like to win thes

:11:06. > :11:06.
:11:06. > :11:12.the day, temperatures up to 16 degrees. It is improving, mainly
:11:12. > :11:22.fair, becoming better later. The winds coming in from the east, are
