Views sought on hospital business plan and funding proposal

​Scrutiny's Future Hospital Review Panel is asking the public to submit their views on the Government's Our Hospital Outline Business Case and funding proposal. This will inform the Panel's review of the funding and project business case, for which a £804.5 million budget has been proposed.

All views on the topic are welcome, however, the Panel are particularly interested in public opinion on whether: 

• The proposed budget of £804.5 million is appropriate for Jersey and for this project

• £756 million of that budget should be borrowed using public bonds

• The investment returns of the Strategic Reserve should be used to pay debt financing costs, management and administration costs 

• Borrowing of this scale should be used to finance a new hospital

• The proposition adequately addresses the economic risks or benefits  

• The conclusions of the business case are reasonable 

• The business case provides sufficient evidence to support the scale of the proposed project

• It is sensible to use the Strategic Reserve to manage debt and project funding
  

All members of the public (individuals or organisations) are encouraged to share their views by 31 August and can get involved by:

• Completing Scrutiny's feedback page

• Emailing scrutiny@gov.je  

• Sending a letter to Scrutiny Office, Morier House, St. Helier, JE1 1DD
