WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TREASURY AND RESOURCES BY DEPUTY G.P. SOUTHERN OF ST. HELIER

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 17th JULY 2012

Question

Will the Minister rule out the use of a private finance initiative deal or other source of private finance for funding either the refurbishment or rebuilding of the General Hospital on its current site or a new build elsewhere?

Answer

Work is currently underway on a feasibility study for the provision of medical services for Jersey. This will include options for the refurbishment or rebuilding of the General Hospital. Alongside this, the Treasury has begun work on identifying funding options to meet the future costs of the hospital development and a report will be brought forward for consideration by the Council of Ministers and the States Assembly in due course.
