Dear Deputy Mezec,
Thank you for your letter concerning stakeholders involved in the review of the Our Hospital project. As part of the review, the team has met with over sixty stakeholders as part of 25 stakeholder meetings.
In planning the approach to undertaking the review, the team, including the Minister for Infrastructure, agreed to break down the gathering of evidence gathering into distinct areas. In each of these areas, key Government of Jersey employees or professional teams engaged with previous and current iterations of the project were consulted, as well as stakeholders with experience of delivering healthcare facilities. For areas that required external input, contractor organisations or federations were asked to identify representatives to provide evidence to the review. The areas were:
• Costs and funding models
• Confidence in current cost plans
• State of existing healthcare estate
• Functional brief development and requirements
• Translating the functional brief to design
• Implications for emergency services
• Infrastructure requirements
• Regulation and ancillary infrastructure
• Work undertaken on previous projects on phasing opportunities
• Parish of St Helier perspectives
• Design, planning and programme – procurement and contracts
• Local industry and contractors' perspective
• Team Assembly
• Digital Health
• Innovation and improvement within Health and Community Services
• Advisers to previous Scrutiny Panel
The Minister for Infrastructure and the Lead Reviewer were consulted on the list of stakeholders and were satisfied that a broad range of input would be received by the review. A full list of stakeholders consulted will be included in the review report acknowledgements.
Since meeting with Scrutiny Liaison Committee on 18 October, and taking into account the Committee's feedback, the review team scheduled further stakeholder meetings to gather additional evidence from a clinical and user perspective. As such, engagements sessions have now taken place with the Clinical and Operational Client Group, the Health Workers' Panel and the Our Hospital Project Citizens' Panel and feedback was invited.
The two Panels were set up as part of the Our Hospital Project specifically for this purpose. Originally, it was to inform criteria for site selection, but regular meetings were held with the panels at key milestones of the project, such as at the end of RIBA Design Stages.
I hope this information serves to clarify your concerns. Yours sincerely,
Deputy Kristina Moore Chief Minister
