WQ.210/2018

WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES

BY DEPUTY M.R. HIGGINS OF ST. HELIER

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 23rd OCTOBER 2018

Question

Will the Minister advise members when Westaway Court was vacated by doctors and other medical workers, how many of them were relocated to the Limes and how many of these same workers are to be re- located to Plaisant Court; and will he further outline what Westaway Court was used for after the medical staff had left the premises?

Answer

28 doctors occupying single-room accommodation were moved to The Limes in February 2018, with another 7 moving over the following months.

Currently, 35 rooms at The Limes are occupied by long-term staff and 4 rooms are being utilised for short-term locum doctors.

The units vacated at Westaway Court have either been decommissioned and are no longer available for occupation or have been used to accommodate medium- and short-term locum staff.

A total of 22 staff resident in various units of accommodation will be moving from Westaway Court to Plaisant Court over the next few weeks/months.

The aim is to have vacated Westaway Court and handed it back to Jersey Property Holdings by the end of this year in accordance with the outline business case approved by the States Assembly.
