Dear Deputy Binet ,

New Healthcare Facilities Programme

Thank you for your attendance at the Future Hospital Review Panel's Public Hearing held on 24th March and for the receipt on the same day of your response to this Panel's letter of 16th March. As a result of the hearing and your letter the Panel has a number of further questions as below:

  1. Please could you inform the Panel if all or any of the recommendations made by the former Public Accounts Committee in its report: Use and Operation of Citizens' Panels, Assemblies and Juries in Jersey (P.A.C. 1/2022) have been implemented and will be followed in the establishment and work of a Citizens' Panel tasked with looking at the New Healthcare Facilities  Programme?  Please  specify  each  of  the  recommendations  which  have  been implemented.
  2. At the time of the public hearing on 24th March 2023 the very recent resignations of the Chief Executive  Officer  of  Health  and  Community  Services  and  the  Chief  Executive  of  the Government of Jersey had not been included on the programme's risk and issue register. Please could you provide the Panel with the most recent version of the register and confirm the process and responsibility for updating the register?
  3. Please confirm whether Suzanne Wylie, in her capacity as Chief Executive Officer and Head of the Public Service, will remain Chair of the Programme's Senior Officer Steering Group for the remainder of her period in office?
  4. A key milestone detailed in R.32/2023 was to appoint client team for feasibility studies' in Jan-Feb 2023. Please confirm whether this work was completed by the end of February and, if it is ongoing, provide an updated timeline for the completion of this work and the impact that this will have on the overall timeline for the project.
  5. Please confirm when the first version of New Healthcare Facilities Programme Manual which supports the delivery of the work being done will be completed and kindly provide a copy for the Panel's information.

The Panel would be grateful for a response by Wednesday 12th April. Yours sincerely
