According to the government, 2,501 Jersey patients were sent to the UK in 2025 to access specialist care not available on the island.
Binet said last month that if the draft policies were introduced, adult patients from households with an income above £210,400 would be asked to contribute towards their costs.
Health officials said, external that this would reintroduce “the pre-2017 policy of eligibility testing based on household income”.
The minister was subsequently asked in the States Assembly whether he intended to sign any orders before Jersey’s general election on 7 June to bring the proposed measures into effect.
“We have considered the medical travel issue and, given the amount of angst that it has caused and the relatively small amount of money, we are not going to take any further action,” Binet said.
“It will remain open for review for whoever the next Minister for Health and Social Services is, but we are not taking action on that.”
