:00:00. > :00:17.Good evening. That's all from
:00:18. > :00:20.Social Security contributions in Jersey urgently need to rise
:00:21. > :00:23.as pressure grows on the fund that helps pay for GP visits.
:00:24. > :00:25.Senator Francis Le Gresley, the islands'
:00:26. > :00:28.Social Security Minister says the Health Insurance Fund, which
:00:29. > :00:31.subsidises the cost of prescriptions and doctors appointments,
:00:32. > :00:40.As we're getting older, we're getting more prescriptions
:00:41. > :00:46.And the cost of dispensing them is becoming painful.
:00:47. > :00:49.As well as prescriptions, the Health Insurance Fund pays
:00:50. > :00:53.towards our GP visits ` as just over ?20 per consultation.
:00:54. > :00:56.At the moment, the fund looks healthy,
:00:57. > :00:59.with assets of ?80 million, but it's not set to last as costs rise
:01:00. > :01:07.The fund is currently paid for out of social security contributions
:01:08. > :01:13.The minister in charge says it's likely workers and businesses
:01:14. > :01:31.Report shows that by 2022, we will only have reserves of 12 months
:01:32. > :01:34.expenditure and we need to take action before that to increase
:01:35. > :01:47.contributions so that position does not arise.
:01:48. > :01:50.And that increase might pay for health care, but are rising
:01:51. > :01:53.contributions an easy pill to swallow? The fund looks set to run
:01:54. > :01:56.dry within the next decade. And it's likely changes will have to be made
:01:57. > :02:08.People will know more about having to pay descriptions. I think
:02:09. > :02:16.long`term, yes, short`term, it is not great. The fund looks set to run
:02:17. > :02:18.dry within the next decade. It looks like changes will have to be made by
:02:19. > :02:28.2017. A post mortem will determine
:02:29. > :02:30.the cause of a 37`year`old man#s Police were called to a Hauteville
:02:31. > :02:35.address in St Peter Port yesterday where It's thought
:02:36. > :02:38.the body had been for some weeks. Smoking
:02:39. > :02:41.in outdoor eating areas could soon A public consultation has just come
:02:42. > :02:46.to an end asking people what they think should be done to help shape
:02:47. > :02:48.a tobacco strategy Eating and drinking outside
:02:49. > :02:53.are summer pleasures. But for non`smokers, they can also
:02:54. > :02:56.present a few hazards as they try At this hotel, there's a beer garden
:02:57. > :03:03.and the staff are exposed to smoke when they serve food
:03:04. > :03:07.and drink to customers outside. They're both waitresses here
:03:08. > :03:12.and they have different views on whether smoking should be banned
:03:13. > :03:29.in outdoor eating areas. If people want to have a cigarette
:03:30. > :03:36.with a pint of beer, I think let it carry on. It is not so nice when
:03:37. > :03:48.somebody is smoking around you. It is not nice. It is not good for
:03:49. > :03:54.health and just not nice. That is the way it is here. I think it is
:03:55. > :03:59.sometimes now the case that people who do not smoke and who are out
:04:00. > :04:03.with children for the day feel that it is difficult for them to sit
:04:04. > :04:06.outside and enjoy a meal because of smoke drift. We want to find a way
:04:07. > :04:16.of working that will resolve that. Music fans will be flocking to
:04:17. > :04:18.Trinity for this year's Jersey Live It's the festival's 11th year
:04:19. > :04:22.and international, chart`topping stars such as Ellie Goulding and
:04:23. > :04:25.Ben Howard are topping the bill. But what room does that leave
:04:26. > :04:43.for local artists? She is the only local singer playing
:04:44. > :04:49.the main stage and even rehearsing to an empty field, Frankie Davies
:04:50. > :04:55.knows the importance of this festival for Jersey artist. It is
:04:56. > :05:01.great for local acts to perform something like this. Every few
:05:02. > :05:06.Jersey artists are performing and this year's festival, in contrast at
:05:07. > :05:10.whole stage is devoted to local talent at previous years. With
:05:11. > :05:16.weekend tickets costing nearly ?100, organisers need big names to get
:05:17. > :05:20.customers through the gates. We are going to concentrate in 2015 in
:05:21. > :05:26.having a local talent stage but this year, one of the stages was dropped.
:05:27. > :05:31.We have put the best of our local artists on the main stage this year.
:05:32. > :05:35.Meanwhile, this could be the last time Frankie graces her home stage
:05:36. > :05:44.as she is off to Nashville to try and crack the hugely lucrative
:05:45. > :05:50.country music scene. I got invited to play at a festival there where
:05:51. > :05:56.they do showcases, conferences, shows, it is a completely different
:05:57. > :05:59.kind of festival to this. With her star on the rise across the pond,
:06:00. > :06:03.the challenge for stars of the future is to convince festival
:06:04. > :06:13.bosses to give them their big break on the big stage back home. Good
:06:14. > :06:18.luck to Frankie. If you are going there this weekend, have a good
:06:19. > :06:24.weekend. Thank you for watching. I will see one London `` Monday. Good
:06:25. > :06:30.evening, with showery rain overnight, that for the their first
:06:31. > :06:37.thing. But Richard clear with sunny spells later. At the festival, it
:06:38. > :06:43.should mostly clear and brighten up into such evening with sunny spells
:06:44. > :06:47.through Sunday as well. Denied, we are starting to see the showers that
:06:48. > :06:50.the UK has seen arriving into the small hours, becoming increasingly
:06:51. > :06:55.cloudy and entered the second part of the night, we will see a band of
:06:56. > :07:02.rain associated with the weather front moving southwards. Here comes
:07:03. > :07:06.that weather front first thing tomorrow morning. Cloudy entries
:07:07. > :07:11.leave for a time but it will clear and by the afternoon, we will see
:07:12. > :07:18.some sunshine breaking through. Into Sunday, it should generally be a dry
:07:19. > :07:23.and fine day, quite bright, one day sees it clouding over again as the
:07:24. > :07:29.weather front pushes in. Into the middle of next week, it will be
:07:30. > :07:33.prior, brighter and much warmer. Here is a summary. Good night.
