WQ.39/2022
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE ASSISTANT CHIEF MINISTER BY THE CONNÉTABLE OF ST. JOHN
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 31st JANUARY 2022 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 7th FEBRUARY 2022
Question
"Further to the responses to Written Question 381/2021 and 446/2021, will the Assistant Chief Minister state the square meterage allowed for growth in the new Our Hospital' and identify where within the plan such space will be located?"
Answer
As previously advised the November 2021 Schedule of Accommodation will continue to evolve to reflect ongoing discussions with stakeholders, and it is not until the internal design is finalised that an absolute answer can be provided.
The area allocated for growth will be around 15% of the final total square meterage of the main building, but designs are still evolving and will need to reflect any planning decisions.
The design created includes flexible internal spaces so that changes can be made in the future, either to meet patient demand or for any changes in medical practice in future as they arise.
An example of flexible space includes administration and other non-clinical areas, which at the time of reporting equates to 3,000 square metres.
