Charity says costs running high

A Jersey charity providing home visits to patients says it can no longer meet its running costs with the present level of States funding.

Family Nursing and Home Care is given £5.4m a year by the States.

The charity says it needs to develop its services and is having to use reserve funds of charitable donations.

Director Karen Huchet said it had received five bequests in the last 12 months, three of which would fund new posts over the next three years.
