ALMOST £166,000 will be drawn from a charitable trust to fund the purchase of new equipment for the Hospital.
A recent ministerial decision will see £37,715 transferred from the E. J. Bailhache Charitable Fund for the purchase of a replacement phototherapy unit for Jersey General Hospital, and £128,000 for two diabetic retinal screening cameras.
The fund was set up “for the general welfare of persons elderly, and/or blind or sick at the General Hospital”.
The report explained that the existing retinal screening equipment captures only a 45-degree view of the back of the eye, and requires pupil dilation for all patients.
“New, modern retinal screening cameras would enhance patient experience, with fasterappointments and a return to normal daily living immediately,” the report said.
