WQ.389/2020
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES
BY THE CONNÉTABLE OF ST. MARTIN
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 20th OCTOBER 2020
Question
Will the Minister advise whether an action plan for the preservation of current services at Overdale during the construction of the new hospital (including operations, infrastructure and funding) will be presented to the States Assembly prior to the debate on the selection of a site for new hospital; and, if not, why not?
Answer
Health and Community Services, working with Infrastructure, Housing and Environment and the Future Hospital team, is in the process of developing business continuity plans for services currently operating at Overdale in the event of a confirmed site selection for the new Hospital.
We anticipate all services will be sustained should decant be required and will ensure that impact to patient experience is minimised. Details for the decant will be confirmed once site selection is concluded and our operational plans will be shared with the Health and Social Security Scrutiny Panel.
