UK hospital service approved for Jersey psychiatric patients
A hospital in Dorset providing a specialised psychiatric service does meet the needs of patients in Jersey, the States has said.
The Minister for Health and Social Services has designated St Ann’s Hospital in Dorset as an “approved establishment” for islanders to receive the specialised service which cannot be provided locally.
The approval means patients initially transferred to the Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) can be transferred to other wards if clinically appropriate.
The service will be subject to monitoring by the Jersey adult mental health services, the States said.
