Sport Green Paper - discussion - time running out for comment

Stewart Lobb  recorded this interview for Tom Gruchy recently with Assistant Minister Deputy Roy Le Herissier, Hugh Raymond and Roy Travert.
Only a few weeks remain now for the general public to submit views or to lobby their States members about the many important isues raised.

This discussion is not just about "sport" in Jersey. There is a whole debate about the healthy options of using exercise as a means of reducing the "care" bill and who should pay for the many and varied facilities that are needed or are fashionable...

"User Pays" and "privatisation", the future of  Fort Regent and the provision of public swimming pools etc etc are all facets of the discussion that needs to take place in a communityt that is now struggling to fund present and future hospitalisation, treatment and care options.

As always the proper provision of all facilities including decent housing, adequate social security provision, care of those with illness or disabilities and such like are integral aspects of the whole caring community package - but who shall pay?
