P.5/2019 Amd.(3)

REPORT

This amendment, if approved, would provide a mechanism for meeting any necessary and expedient costs associated with rescinding the decisions of the Assembly.

Comments will be issued in advance of the debate to outline how the Council of Ministers wishes to proceed in furtherance of the wider objective of delivering a new hospital, including more detailed costs, and a new, inclusive, and timely site appraisal and selection process.

Financial and manpower implications

As outlined, this amendment does not create any additional financial costs; it simply ensures that any costs incurred, if the Assembly decide to support Deputy R. Labey 's proposition, can be met by the Hospital Construction Fund.
