15 The Connétable of St. Martin of the Minister for Health and Social Services
regarding the provision of services within new healthcare facilities (OQ.116/2023)
Further therapies referenced within the blog post entitled New Healthcare Facilities Feasibility Study, will the Minister present a report to the Assembly outlining how the Government intends to ensure a range of departments and therapies are provided within the new healthcare facilities; and will she further state whether departments such as the Assisted Reproduction Unit will remain accessible throughout both the development and lifetime of the new facilities?
Deputy K. Wilson (The Minister for Health and Social Services):
I thank the Constable for her question. What I can say is, yes, currently the draft functional brief has been prepared around these services and is under internal review. It is anticipated it will be published once it has been fully discussed and revised with the clinical users. With regard to the Assisted Reproductive Unit, as referred to in the question, it is scheduled to move to the Enid Quenault Health and Wellbeing Centre in the summer, along with a range of other outpatient services on the Overdale site. All of these services have been included in the overarching functional brief and schedule of accommodation for the healthcare facilities programme to ensure that they are captured.
3.15.1 The Connétable of St. Martin :
Given we will have healthcare facility sites instead of a hospital, will the Minister commit to publishing details on how emergency transfers for all these 3 proposed facilities will be factored into the development of each facility and the associated risks?
Deputy K. Wilson : Yes, I will.
