The president of Guernsey's health committee has defended a £6m overspend, citing increased general demand pressures and specific challenges related to off-island care as contributing factors. The committee's extra spending last year was a result of ongoing health service demands and unique challenges. With healthcare costs on the rise, the committee's budget has been put to the test. Despite the overspend, the committee remains committed to providing quality healthcare services to the community, addressing health inequalities and improving health outcomes. Key areas of focus include healthcare management and health policy.
