WQ.141/2024
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES
BY DEPUTY M.B. ANDREWS OF ST HELIER NORTH
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 15th APRIL 2024
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 22nd APRIL 2024
Question
“Will the Minister state the estimated total cost of the New Healthcare Facilities Programme (NHFP), and if not, why not?”
Answer
The estimated total cost of phase 1 of the New Healthcare Facilities Programme is £710m, as outlined in the Government Plan 2024-28. This will deliver the inpatient and emergency hospital at Overdale (also known as acute) and enable progress on and design and delivery work to progress on the Kensington Place and St Saviour’s Health Village sites.
The programme has been split into phases, which will be more affordable at any one time for taxpayers than a single high value contract. This approach reduces exposure to economic uncertainty, including changes to the commercial approach by a single delivery partner.
Therefore, it is not possible to disclose a full cost figure of Programme spend beyond its first phase, as design work for future phases has not yet been completed.
