The Panel was shown a number of rooms which included dementia friendly spaces and access to outside space.

The Panel received a tour of Cedar Ward , located on the first floor of Clinique Pinel which is used for the assessment and care of older adults, typically over the age of 65, who are suffering from mental health problems. At the time of the Panel's visit the ground floor and surrounding curtilage was a construction site. The Panel saw and heard about how this affected the ward, and one (at the time non-occupied) patient room in particular. The Panel was advised that the timeframe for completion of the building works, as advised by the contractor, had been extended from the original deadline of May 2022 to September 2022.

The Panel received a tour of Orchard House which accommodated the Adult Acute Assessment Unit. The Panel noted that the facilities had been improved since a visit was undertaken in 2018. The Panel noted in particular the improved change in the recreation areas for patients and, also, the addition of skylights, which allowed more natural light into the building.

The Panel, Ministers and Officers then travelled to La Chasse, St Helier which was used as the base for the Community Mental Health Team. The Panel discussed Adult Mental  Health  Services  with  the  Minister,  Assistant  Minister  and  HCS  officers present, noting the challenges that had been presented through Covid-19 pandemic and, also, the way forward for the department following the publication of the Independent Review of Adult Mental Health Services in Jersey in November 2021.

During the discussion at La Chasse, the Panel was informed about the wider issues impacting staff such as the cost of living and challenges to find accommodation.

The Panel visited H.M. Prison La Moye (Prison), to discuss mental health services provided within the Prison and the opportunity to informally discuss the provision of mental health services to prisoners with Prison staff.

The Panel received an update about the role of the Prison in relation to the mental health of prisoners by Susie Richardson, Prison Governor, Justice and Home Affairs (Governor). It was advised that the main difference between the provision of mental health services to Jersey prisoners and U.K. prisoners, was that the Prison operated an internal healthcare service employed by the Prison Service, which often resulted in an improved service for Jersey prisoners. It was also advised that mental health services were provided to U.K. prisoners via the National Health Service.

The Governor informed the Panel that decisions about moving prisoners from the Prison to a secure U.K. mental health facility were made during the Jersey court process, and that Jersey experienced less complex mental health needs when compared with the U.K.

The Panel discussed the impact of COVID-19 and further discussed the impact of Jersey's current court processes, Prison mental health staffing as well as the needs of prisoners in Jersey compared with prisoners in the UK.

The role of the Crisis Team and the Home Treatment Team was discussed, and it was noted that the relationship between these teams and the Prison was managed by a Community Psychiatric Nurse. The Panel was advised that on a number of occasions there had been a delay in the response from the Crisis Team and they had not been able to respond, in some instances, for days.

The  Panel  thanked  the  Prison  Governor  and  Officers  for  their  time,  and  they concluded the meeting at the Prison.
