Research and insight on health, housing and social security in Jersey
Policy Centre Jersey brings together independent research, data and analysis to support a deeper understanding of Jersey’s special characteristics including history, political system, economy and environment.
Jersey has its own health, social housing and social security systems. The health system has to cope with increased demand and the special issues that face small jurisdictions in meeting such demand. Jersey needs a new hospital, an issue that has been subject to substantial political debate and much delay. The social security system is similar to that in the UK, and the interaction between it and support for renters is particularly significant.
