  1. GP consultations by video scheme dropped

    BBC Radio Jersey

    A system that allowed Jersey people to visit the doctors online has been dropped - because not enough islanders used it.

    Launched in 2014, patients could have video consultations via their smartphone using the Babylon Health app.

    However, it has only been used a handful of times so doctors have stopped offering the service.

    Nigel Minihane, the head of Jersey Primary Care Trust which represents all GPs on the island, says patients voted with their feet.
