This type of survey provides an industry standard' means of assessing the condition of the Jersey General Hospital estate with respect to 1) physical condition 2) functional suitability 3) space utilisation 4) quality 5) fire, health and safety and 6) environmental management.
A summary of backlog maintenance costs as of February 2019 is set out below. These costs are associated with maintaining statutory and regulatory compliance.

These costs are associated with the General Hospital alone. The relatively large amount in Year 0' (£32m) reflects the accumulated deferred backlog maintenance. Much of this work was deferred because buildings were programmed for early demolition as part of the Future Hospital Project. These buildings will now need investment not previously considered. Further surveys will need to be undertaken for the remainder of the Health and Community Services estate including community and ambulatory services at Overdale Hospital and mental health and other services at St Saviour's site. There is also a significant number of individual Health and Community Services buildings across the Island whose condition will need to be surveyed.
They do not include the capital costs of other vital building works, particularly those associated with providing additional hospital bed, operating theatre or outpatient clinic capacity that will be needed to meet the demand created by the increasingly ageing demographic on the Island. Nor do they include any additional costs such as service decant and temporary buildings, associated with enabling backlog maintenance projects to proceed. The costs are current costs excluding the impact of inflation on any programmed works.
In conclusion, these costs set out in this written answer are likely to represent only the minimum costs required to keep the current General Hospital statutory and regulatory compliant for the next 10 years.
