Is Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) still practiced in Jersey?
If so, how many patients have been treated using it in 2016?
Response
The Health and Social Services Department does not provide Electroconvulsive Therapy in Jersey. If a patient required treatment with ECT they would need to travel to an alternative Hospital in the UK.
There were no patients treated with ECT in 2016. We have not been providing ECT for a number of years.
