The medical side is covered by Social Security in Guernsey so it's swings and roundabouts in a way as they wouldn't be paying for Aurigny to cover the service but it may bring down the per leg cost of the contract they have with Gama Aviation and potentially be offset by lower costs for medical patients that need to travel on schedule services to Guernsey or Southampton if they can negotiate lower medical fares... On the flip side, any Alderney patient going to Southampton would be unable to go for check ups as a day trip, so Health would end up having to pay for overnight accommodation.
As said above, presumably we're looking at an extra ATR also which may help with the current Aurigny Guernsey schedule and Alderney Airport does need work done to it - but it's a lot of work that isn't necessarily going to bring about wide scale benefits for everyone, even if in reality it has to be done to at least keep the airport in a decent state.
