Health in Jersey

Life expectancy at birth for men in Jersey in 2017 was 80.6 years and for women 84.9 years.[1]

The States of Jersey Police report that there was an increase in activity related to mental health of 178% between 2012 and 2016.[2]

Healthcare

Jersey is not part of the United Kingdom, and so is not covered by the National Health Service. There is a Reciprocal Health Agreement with the United Kingdom, agreed in 2011.[3] It does not cover pre-existing or non-urgent conditions.[4]

GP and dental services are not free of charge. Emergency treatment given in the Emergency Department is free of charge.

gollark: > Instead write an actual program. Something fun, something useful, something completely useless and over-complicated. Whatever. As long as you learn a ton and have fun I don't care - that is what ComputerCraft is about :). But please don't just make an operating system.
gollark: Importantly:> Don't. Find something else interesting to write. Most operating systems end up being glorified startup screens. The ones which don't generally opt for features which are "cool" or exist in real life operating systems rather than those which make life easier for the user.
gollark: Oops, sent it twice!
