WQ.281/2024
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR INFRASTRUCTURE BY DEPUTY C.D . CURTIS OF ST. HELIER CENTRAL
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 16th SEPTEMBER 2024 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 23rd SEPTEMBER 2024
Question
"Further to his response to Written Question 79/2024, will the Minister provide an update on whether a suitable applicant for the reuse centre at La Collette has been found through the tender process, and if so, provide details of the applicant and how they will make use of the facility?"
Answer
Yes, Enable Jersey has been successful in its tender application as part of the tender process. The outline of their proposal is to offer a reuse service:
• Focusing on the reuse and repurposing of pre-owned medical equipment such as beds, chairs, walkers, wheelchairs and scooters etc.
• Providing affordable medical supplies – the organisation supports individuals in need while reducing waste and promoting a circular economy.
The service would:
• Receive preowned and reuseable medical items (as outlined above) from members of the public.
• Establish an Equipment Hub (at the reuse facility) to open several mornings/days per week where items can be dropped off/viewed and taken away for reuse.
As part of their outline business plan, Enable Jersey are looking to work with Government to expand their services with the option for joint services being provided at this location going forward.
