The Government is inviting Islanders to give their feedback on proposed changes to the
Termination of Pregnancy Law. The Minister for Health and Social Services has made a
commitment to lodge the proposed law changes before the end of 2025.
Feedback from the termination of pregnancy consultation in 2023, has helped to shape the
proposals set out in this consultation. Islanders are encouraged to complete the online survey
at gov.je/consultations​. The consultation will be open until Monday 14 April.
Assistant Minister for Health and Social Services, Deputy Andy Howell, said: “We want to make
sure our legislation reflects societal values, meets the needs of women, and adapts to changes
in medical practice. We are committed to considering all feedback and aim to have a clear and
fit-for-purpose legal framework that takes account of changes in medical practice."​
