The way Beau Sejour operates should be reviewed as currently the cost to government subsidises the leisure pursuits of many islanders who can already afford to pay full rate and yet I expect it fails to deliver on Dr Bridgman's recommendations regarding equality and the universal goal of health equity. Most of Beau Sejour's services are unaccessible to the 10,000 or so who are deemed poor. How can this situation be improved? Life fit is a good example of a great free service but only reaches a small minority. The classes, sport facilities and pool should be accessible for all on fixed or low incomes and could be utilised more fully by children's services. The centre seems to be under used in the daytime generally. As a public service it should deliver to those who are most in need of it. The centre seems to be underused commercially but I share concerns that savings acheived by outsourcing the management will be detrimental to the service.
