STATES OF JERSEY
HOSPITAL CATERING DEPARTMENT: CANCEL RELOCATION TO AN OFFSITE LOCATION – PETITION
Lodged au Greffe on 12th December 2017 by Senator S.C. Ferguson
STATES GREFFE
2017 P.124
PROPOSITION
THE STATES are asked to decide whether they are of opinion
to cancel the relocation of the Hospital catering department to an offsite location.
SENATOR S.C. FERGUSON
REPORT
The petitioners live in the vicinity of St. Peter 's Technical Park. In fact, the majority of the area alongside and behind the Technical Park is residential.
The noise and disturbance from delivery lorries and other vehicles attending the particular sheds from early in the morning until the evening, 7 days a week, means that there will be little respite for the neighbours from the noise and disturbance. The proposal to move the catering department to St. Peter was a fait accompli as far as the neighbours were concerned. It has to be asked, is this fair? Is this really the correct way to provide meals for Meals on Wheels', the Hospital, and a number of care homes?
The petitioners ask the States to reconsider the imposition of this noisy and disturbing system on the neighbourhood, particularly as it will be operating 7 days a week.
Financial and manpower implications
The future hospital team will need to re-assess the catering scheme and a location. The costs will be available from the original tranche of monies being used to support the investigative work for the contract.
