12th September 2017   Our Ref: 511/2.2 Dear Chief Minister,

Chairmen's Committee Future Hospital Review Panel

Thank you for your letter dated 29th August. The Review Panel met on 6th September and discussed your invitation for a meeting.

The Panel was disappointed that its requests for information had not been acknowledged in the letter and feel that there is little point in meeting until that information has been received.

To reiterate, we are seeking the following:

  1. An  advance  copy  of  the  Proposition  concerning  the  Outline  Business  Case  and  any accompanying papers such as an updated Gleeds report and any relevant Council of Ministers briefing papers.
  2. An advance copy of the Proposition concerning the funding proposals and any background reports and briefing papers.
  3. With regards to the funding proposals, could the Review Panel be provided with an initial indication as to what form the proposals will take? Will they be similar to the proposals put forward in P.130/2016?

As you noted in your letter, it is a tight timescale for the delivery of the Outline Business Case and Funding papers. We as a Panel are willing to work to the timescale, which is as little as 6 weeks, because we do not want to delay the project. But in order to undertake a review within this extremely short timescale it is imperative that we receive the information we have requested or at the very least an explanation as to why it might not be available.

The Panel looks forward to receiving the requested information before its next meeting on 20th September.

Yours sincerely

Deputy S.M. Brée

Chairman

Future Hospital Review Panel
