earlier this evening. There will be more on that and any development | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
There's a four month wait in Jersey for an MRI scan unless you can | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
Without extra investment in staff to run the scanners, I don't see how we | :00:17. | :00:30. | |
can reduce the public waiting list any time soon. | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
Good evening and welcome to the late news from BBC Channel Islands. | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
Tooth decay in decline - a new approach is delivering great | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
People in Jersey are waiting on average 16 weeks | :00:41. | :00:51. | |
That's compared to two in England, and six in Guernsey. | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
The figures - released to the BBC in a Freedom | :00:57. | :00:58. | |
of Information request - also show there's only | :00:59. | :01:00. | |
one scanner in Jersey, despite repeated pledges | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
This is a common procedure in hospitals. | :01:04. | :01:10. | |
MRI scanners like this are used to examine almost every | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
They can detect a big variety of conditions | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
Deputy Jackie Hilton is worried how long the wait | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
At the moment I've been told that the second scanner is not | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
going to work alongside the original one, so when we have the new scanner | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
we will only have one scanner in position, | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
the old scanner will be used occasionally as back-up. | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
So that was disappointing as I don't see, without extra investment | :01:43. | :01:44. | |
in the staff to run the scanners, I don't see how we can | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
reduce the public waiting list anytime soon. | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
And that waiting list is currently 16 weeks long - | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
unless you want to pay to go private. | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
Jersey's Health department has promised the new hospital | :02:03. | :02:04. | |
will have two scanners - but that's eight years away. | :02:05. | :02:06. | |
The director of Jersey's hospital says in the meantime a replacement | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
It's not a second scanner, it is a replacement scanner. Is that the | :02:10. | :02:30. | |
original one isn't good enough any more, is it not possible to get two? | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
Scanners have quite a short shelf life, because technology goes on so | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
quickly. So we plan about the life cycle. It is still functioning, and | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
very well. The new one will be better, more technologically | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
advanced. We'll have a second scanner, but it is going to be used | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
as a second scanner, it is there is a contingency if we have excess | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
demand and can get the staff, because staff is the key element | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
here. Then we'll be able to use it on occasion. But it is really a | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
replacement scanner. Wayne Grady is due to be installed by the end of | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
the year, but that has been delayed without a fixed date. The message | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
seems to be if you're worried and can afford it, you might be best to | :03:15. | :03:15. | |
pay. Meanwhile Jersey's hospital | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
cancelled five operations today as it's now back up | :03:19. | :03:19. | |
to a red alert status. There are currently fewer | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
than five beds available. The health department says higher | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
than normal emergency admissions, winter flu and staff sickness | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
are putting pressure Jersey Police are still searching | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
for a man who ran away from a crash yesterday morning involving | :03:31. | :03:38. | |
a stolen car. Thermal imaging equipment was used | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
by the Fire Service to track the driver after a white Suzuki | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
carry - stolen from St Peter's garden centre - | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
which ended up on its side The level of damage to the van | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
after hitting two parked cars and a granite wall suggests the man | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
could be hurt. The number of four to five-year-olds | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
with tooth decay has dropped to its lowest level | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
ever in Guernsey. Latest figures show that | :04:06. | :04:06. | |
fourteen in every hundred This compares to twenty | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
five in England. Mike Wilkins reports on the measures | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
taken to punish plaque. Not a sound many young | :04:15. | :04:21. | |
people want to hear, but now fewer children are having | :04:22. | :04:23. | |
to receive treatment In the last five years there's been | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
a significant drop in tooth decay Five years ago, almost a fifth had | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
evidence of dental decay. Dental nurses are better trained | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
and the head of the children's dental service says new departments | :04:38. | :04:44. | |
are delivering encouraging results. We're working very closely | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
now with education. We work with the dieticians, | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
other health professionals and we also about three years ago | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
having won a bursary, we introduced tooth-brushing any | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
charity based preschools. They've taken on brushing the teeth | :05:01. | :05:17. | |
school. Sugary drinks and Paula school. Sugary drinks and Paula | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
brushing mean that in children with dental problems, on average at least | :05:24. | :05:30. | |
three teeth are decayed. Internationally, our rates of tooth | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
decay are pretty good compared to other Europeans, but there are a | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
minority of children that have particular problems. Again, the | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
intervention area's Rulli around educating people, particularly | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
around sugar, drink and sweets. Some drinks also linked to obesity, that | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
nutritionally are really useless, such as cola and fizzy drinks. You | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
know, our particular problems with tooth decay and tooth decay is | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
associated with a lot of pain and problems potentially for children. A | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
lot of this is also prevented. What government advice is to limit sugary | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
drinks, brush twice a day and see the dentist at least once every six | :06:16. | :06:16. | |
months. Jersey's Treasury Minister has | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
been questioned over Concerns over the drop | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
in students going to university because of the costs involved has | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
prompted a review by They want to hear from students | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
and parents to come up with alternative ways on how | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
the island can help with student financing - | :06:33. | :06:34. | |
as they say today's meeting highlights the lack of work done | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
by the Ministers involved. The work in between the two | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
departments education and Treasury was of concern and that is not that | :06:43. | :06:44. | |
options that could have been considered from a Treasury | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
perspective looking out for university students really | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
hadn't been done and therefore at the panel will continue | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
to gather evidence. We want to hear from the public | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
and hear their views on how they feel student financing should | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
happen on the island. He invented the envelope | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
folding machine, printed the first perforated stamps, | :07:07. | :07:08. | |
and was instrumental in the mass manufacture | :07:09. | :07:10. | |
of the modern deck of cards. Now Guernseyman, Thomas de la | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
Rue has been honoured with a blue plaque - | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
marking his place of birth. His name is set in stone | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
in the heart of St Peter Port, but how many islanders really know | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
who Thomas de la Rue was? Thomas de la Rue behind you, | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
do you know who he was? I think he invented | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
printed banknotes. A blue plague in Forest Shores | :07:34. | :07:46. | |
marking where the house We're putting up, more | :07:47. | :08:11. | |
or less, one a year. Individually, they serve | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
as reminders of that particular person, but collectively now, | :08:15. | :08:16. | |
we're getting a nice story about the famous | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
Guernsey people of the past. Thomas de la Rue left Guernsey | :08:19. | :08:20. | |
in 1816, but his legacy continues. We still believe in innovation | :08:21. | :08:33. | |
and entrepreneurialism We're the world's largest printer | :08:34. | :08:35. | |
of commercial bank notes. We're the world's largest commercial | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
printer of passports. And just recently we celebrated | :08:39. | :08:40. | |
200 years of formation. The name Thomas de la Rue may have | :08:41. | :08:42. | |
been more associated with this pub than printing, | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
but it's hoped this blue plaque will remind people just how much | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
this visionary Guernseyman achieved. After a foggy few days lets see | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
what the forecast has in store Good evening. A fairly cloudy day | :08:55. | :09:07. | |
across the island, and very little changes over the next 24 hours. | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
Through this week, we start to see a bit of a change as we head towards | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
Christmas. It'll be quite unsettled, we have had quite a dry start to | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
December but we will see some more persistent rain pushing in through | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
the week. The wind will start to pick up as well. We have had a | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
fairly solid layer of cloud across the islands today, not much in the | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
way sunshine. It is a similar story into tomorrow. By this time | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
tomorrow, we have a weather front towards the west, and it will bring | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
rain overnight tomorrow night. During the day, we should see more | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
sunshine. As we had through Wednesday, it looks like a fairly | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
wet day. We could well see quite a bit of rainfall from this weather | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
front on Wednesday. Thursday, largely cloudy, bit of my deep | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
patchy rain and drizzle. Friday is your best bet for sunshine. It | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
should be largely dry with some sunshine. He considers the area of | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
low pressure up towards the north-west, which will pick up the | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
wind. Actually, Friday could be quite blustery. We have some rain | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
out there tonight, mist and low cloud too. It should be murky, frost | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
free, temperatures down to three or four degrees. Quite a Gray start | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
tomorrow, with the risk of sunlight patchy rain and drizzle through the | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
day. The bulk of the rain will come through the overnight period. A bit | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
of something coming and going, it will feel slightly cooler than | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
today. Temperatures up at around seven or 8 degrees. We have a bit of | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
a change through the week, something a bit more mobile. We have a lot of | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
cloud tomorrow, perhaps a few bright spells, but feeling cooler than | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
today. Wednesday looks like a fairly wet and windy day, but more sunshine | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
and Terry increasingly windy towards the end of the week. | :10:56. | :10:57. | |
and Jersey will have bulletins from 6.00 tomorrow morning and I'll | :10:58. | :10:59. | |
be back at 6.30 tomorrow night, until then have a good evening. | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
The rest of the weekend, some rain around, windy, but with dry and | :11:03. | :11:04. | |
bright spells. Heavy weather is brewing, it will | :11:05. | :11:15. | |
not reach us just yet. It will take a good few days before the stormy | :11:16. | :11:21. | |
weather reaches us. At the moment, it's just potential, nothing is | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
certain, but it will be different to what we've had over the last few | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
weeks, it's been so calm. We have a jet stream raging out of North | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
America making a beeline for the UK. It | :11:34. | :11:35. |
