Dear Chief Minister
Future Hospital Scrutiny Review Panel
I write to inform you that the Future Hospital Scrutiny Review Panel has been reconstituted. The membership of the Review Panel has changed and going forward will consist of the following States Members, who are all currently Scrutiny Chairman or Vice-Chairman of other Panels:
- Senator Kristina Moore
- Deputy Kirsten Morel
- Senator Sarah Ferguson
- Connétable Mike Jackson
- Deputy Mary Le Hegarat
- Deputy Robert Ward
- Connétable John Le Maistre
The recent correspondence that you sent to all States Members advising of your decision to essentially return to the drawing board in respect of the build of the new hospital has raised a number of concerns for the Panel. Firstly, the public of Jersey has already invested £43m in robust professional advice to deliver a much needed new hospital and any further delay to the build could push the existing hospital into a stage that will increase its running costs significantly. Secondly, we question whether the recent meetings with States Members have followed a thorough process and whether the discussions have been informed by professional expertise or support.
In light of the above and in order to gain some clarity as to how you intend to move forward with this project, the Future Hospital Review Panel wishes to invite you to attend a public hearing. Our Scrutiny Officer will be in touch with your Department about arrangements for the hearing.
Thank you in advance for your assistance on this issue. Yours sincerely
Senator Kristina Moore Chairman
Future Hospital Review Panel
