Nowhere to turn, no clear answers and a fear that children will fall

Just some of the concerns voiced by parents about CAHMS.

And this town house tucked `way on a quiet st helier street is where

the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services are based.

The problem ` as highlighted in today's rdport `

is that this centre is only open 9`5 Monday to Friday ` not hdeal

for children who go to school or their parents who work full time.

Those who are referred here will have to wait on average 14 weeks

And for children suspected of being on the autistic spdctrum,

Families are being let down. Services are not in place to address

all the issue that need to be addressed.

Deputies Hilton and Reed have led work on this ` they're callhng

for out of hours services, better training for staff and

We want the service to be proactive not reactive. We want them to

deliver programmes and pathways earlier, at the time when the

youngsters are first showing the signs of mental health issuds,

rather than waiting until there is a crisis to be able to intervdne.

The Health Minister was before scrutiny again today `

she says the difficulty for her department is that young peoples

We know through Internet, the different pressures, like drugs

psychiatric drugs play a big part in it, too. As does alcohol. So all

these factors, we need to understand it.

So everyone agrees there are problems.

The challenge for the health department is to find the money

The Jersey Care Inquiry will start hearing evidence on 22nd July.

It's been set up to investigate historic child abuse in the island.

Today Jersey's Health department were ordered to provide doctments

of the historic abuse compensation scheme

despite their concerns it h`d about not gaining victims consent first.

The panel also assured the police that sensitive documents relating to

investigations would be tre`ted properly and wouldn't be disclosed.

Despite a bumper year for Jersey royals, around a quarter are

being discarded and aren't laking it to the supermarket shelves.

Many of them are too big to sell and are just being dumped.

Sifting through this year's Jersey Royals and throwing out those too

big to sell. It has been an excellent year for growing but

thousands of tonnes are being left to rot because they are oversized.

Generally, we have a size specification to work too from

supermarkets. Perfect growing conditions have meant a record crop

here and abroad. From Cornw`ll, through Pemba Cheer up to Stffolk

and Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire. They have a lot of

potatoes that they want to sell So there is a lot of competition in the

market. With so many Royals in the market, why can they not big in the

market, why can they not begin runaway? We would like people to

contact us if they have worthwhile charitable causes that could

benefit. We are more than h`ppy to do that. So what puts of customers

from buying a bigger Jersey Royal? If you saw these Jersey Roy`ls in

the shop, which would you go for? I would go for the small ones. I would

go for the small one, it tastes nicer. I would go for the slall one,

because I have heard they are more tasty. The small ones, they are user

to squeeze. The big ones. One company has a use for overshzed

potatoes, to make vodka. So they will not be completely wastdd.

I absolutely love it. It is my favourite time of year. I love being

that as soon as you are dond the tournament, you go home.

Good luck, Heller. Archaeological digs are being

Bronze Age burial chambers That's it for now. Now the weather

forecast. It is a bit more hn the way of cloud. A fairly thick band of

cloud arriving by the end of the night. Overnight ambitious down The

breeze picks up as well. So a breezy, cloudy start to the day By

the afternoon, clearer condhtions will not in from the north. There

should be lots of sunshine hn the second half of the day. Quite a keen

wind to start with. On Wedndsday, another band of cloud coming our

way. That could produce the odd isolated light shower. But for most

of us, another dry day. Just disappointing league cloudy at

times. On Thursday, Friday `nd the weekend, we start to see thd

high`pressure comeback and getting closer. So more fine weather, dry

weather. More sunshine and ` little bit warmer.

Good night. The more across the UK, here is John

Hammond. A lot of dry weather this week. Some

important variations from day-to-day and place to place. The cloud will

come and go and the warmth will Take today, we were shivering under

the cloud in eastern England. . In stark contrast here, 25 Celsius

here. The warmest day of the year so far. On Tuesday, the map turns

orange. That shows higher temperatures for many of us

tomorrow. Not exactly cold overnight. Under the clearest of the

skies, in rural spots, will get down to six or seven Celsius. For larger

towns and cities, will get to double figures. Dampness in Scotland. It is

a cloudy start where you are across the south and the east of the UK,

hang on in there. The sun should come out and it will be a dazzling

day. Good news if you are off to Royal Ascot. Warm, up into the low
