The president of Guernsey's health committee has defended a £6m overspend, citing ongoing general demand pressures and specific challenges related to off-island care as key factors. Despite the significant overspend, the committee maintains that the situation is under control. The excess spending is attributed to increased healthcare needs and the complexities of providing care outside the island. As healthcare costs continue to rise, the committee is working to manage its budget effectively. With healthcare management and medical care being a top priority, the committee is taking steps to address the overspend and ensure sustainable healthcare services. The health committee's efforts to balance its budget will be closely monitored.
