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.
