States Greffe: Scrutiny
Deputy Susie Pinel
Minister for Treasury & Resources
By email
5th May 2021 Dear Minister
Corporate Services Scrutiny Panel
MD-TR-2021-0020 – Our Hospital Early Enabling Works: Funding Authorisation
Thank you for your letter of the 26 April 2021 which confirmed that the Strategic Outline Case (SOC) for MD-TR-2021-0020 had been approved by the Political Oversight Group (POG) prior to the early requirement of the funding and that this had been approved in anticipation of the acceptance of an Outline Business Case (OBC) yet to be presented to the States Assembly.
The Panel would request further explanation on the authorisation trail surrounding the early release of monies for the project, prior to the production of an OBC and without a specific business case being presented and agreed by the Assembly and why the necessity of an early funding release arose on this project. The Panel wishes to clarify the authorisation trail and understand:
• how the POG, the Minister for Infrastructure and yourself were specifically informed as to the reason that early funding was needed; and
• under whose remit the decision to progress was formed.
The Panel looks forward to your response and would appreciate it if this could be received by Monday 10 May 2021.
Yours sincerely
Senator Kristina Moore
Chair, Corporate Services Scrutiny Panel
