WQ.293/2022
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES BY DEPUTY R.J. WARD O ST. HELIER CENTRAL
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 14th NOVEMBER 2022
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 21st NOVEMBER 2022
Question
“Will the Minister state what assessments, if any, have been made of the capacity of Health and Community Services to staff a multi-site hospital; and will she further advise whether, within any such assessment, staff would be based in one location or expected to travel between sites to deliver services?”
Answer
As outlined in the Minister for Infrastructure’s report on the Our Hospital Project[1], the next steps for the project are for it to undertake: “…further consultation with stakeholders, especially healthcare staff on the services that should be provided in any hybrid or phased solution”.
It is envisioned that the above work will inform an assessment of functional briefs and resources for HCS to support a multi-site hospital, as well as any requirements for staff to travel between sites to deliver services, as is already the case with the current multi-site model of care delivered between Jersey General Hospital and Overdale Hospital’s Samarès Ward .
