WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES BY DEPUTY S.Y. MEZEC OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 20th JANUARY 2015
Question
Will the Minister inform members of the terms of reference agreed with the chosen agents into the 100- day review of the one-site/two-site question for the new hospital project, and inform members when he expects to be in a position to report back to the States on its findings?
Answer
I am pleased to be given the opportunity to do so formally.
In September 2014, the then Ministerial Oversight Group gave its commitment that "in view of the scale of the Project, a stand-alone report and proposition on the Future Hospital is in the best interests of transparent and open Government" (SR.10.Res/2014 refers).
The Ministerial Oversight Group for Health Transformation met on 17th December 2014 to discuss this matter. The monthly MOG meeting is chaired by the Chief Minister and is normally attended by the Minister and Assistant Ministers for Health and Social Services, and the Ministers for Treasury and Resources, Social Security, and Transport and Technical Services.
Following consideration of the alternatives, the Ministerial Oversight Group agreed that optimised design configurations of the following four sites should be appraised on a like-for-like basis:
- A new build single site hospital at the existing General Hospital site (Gloucester Street, St Helier) and adjacent land;
- A new build single site hospital at the existing Overdale Hospital site (Westmount Road) and adjacent land;
- A new build single site hospital at the Waterfront site (Zephyrus, Crosslands and Jardins de la Mer); and,
- A new build and refurbished Dual Site hospital at the existing General Hospital and Overdale Hospital sites.
Gleeds Management Services, appointed by Jersey Property Holdings to undertake the Future Hospital Feasibility Study, has started the options appraisal of the four sites, and this is expected to report within the 100 day target.
Following Ministerial Oversight Group and Council of Ministers reviews, the outcome will be lodged for debate before the summer recess in accordance with the undertaking that the previous Ministerial Oversight Group made to the Health, Social Security and Housing Scrutiny Panel (within SR.10.Res/2014)
