States Greffe
Deputy Kristina Moore , Chief Minister BY EMAIL
6th June 2023
Dear Chief Minister,
New Healthcare Facilities Programme
In a video entitled How will we ensure value for money' produced in relation to the New Healthcare Facilities Programme and available on the Government of Jersey's Youtube channel you state that:
We are going to be more pragmatic about the financial information we make public. We are absolutely committed to achieving a better overall cost for the facilities than Our Hospital and we'll share information with those who hold us to account. But we won't be publishing our business cases. We are the only jurisdiction globally that has published its outline business case which is a commercially sensitive document. It's not normal practice to tell suppliers your maximum budget and you won't get the best deal by doing so.'
Please could you explain what will be provided to Scrutiny, States Members and the public in relation to the cost and financing of all projects within the programme of work?
The Panel has found published outline business cases on the following developments. In light of these publications, please could you explain why you have said that Jersey is the only jurisdiction to have published an outline business case?
• St-Georges-Health-And-Wellbeing-Hub-Outline-Business-Case-211122.pdf (icb.nhs.uk) (published 2021)
• Sherwood Forest Hospitals – Outline Business Case – Theatres and Critical Care Unit Redevelopment (published 2020)
• NHS Grampian Business Cases (page published 2021)
• Guernsey – Hospital Modernisation 2019 – 2028 – Programme Business Case
Please could you provide your response within five working days of receipt of this letter. Yours sincerely
Deputy Sam Mézec
Chair
Future Hospital Review Panel
