St Helier in the news as vital upgrades delayed until 2032
28 Jan 2025
Last week the new Labour Government officially delayed vital improvement works at St Helier Hospital until at least 2023.
This came as it was revealed that the previous Conservative Government failed to allocate any funding for the project.
St Helier has been all over the news since and local MP Bobby Dean has been right there too, standing up for our hospital and making the case for bringing forward the desperately needed upgrades.

Bobby also sat down with BBC Radio London to discuss what these delays mean for St Helier and how he will keep fighting for our hospital.
