WQ.201/2019
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER BY DEPUTY K.G. PAMPLIN OF ST. SAVIOUR
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 30th APRIL 2019
Question
Will the Chief Minister inform members of the current status of the Future Hospital project and provide an update on the costs incurred on the project to date?
Answer
As promised, following the meetings with Members and my email of the 10th April (copied below for reference), a report will be published by the end of this week's States sitting on the new hospital project. This will set out in detail the current and future status of the project. The report will also include an update of the costs.
Email from the Chief Minister to all Members, 10th April 2019 Dear Colleagues
I wanted to send you a short note thanking you for participating in the recent discussion sessions about how we move forward to deliver a new hospital.
You raised a number of issues, and it is clear to me that there is a strong appetite to consider (before choosing the location of the site) the specifications of our hospital, and how it fits into the wider delivery of health care in our Island.
It was also clear to me that we need to make changes in how we approach the development of our new hospital – delivering a project that is more health-led, with improved governance, increased engagement, and greater transparency.
A more detailed note of our sessions will be circulated just after Easter and early next month I will publish a report on our progress and proposed new approach. This will be a staged approach, returning to you at critical points for comment and oversight, enabling us to move forward and finally deliver progress on this vital project.
I hope this keeps you informed, and I will be in touch again shortly Kind Regards,
John
