1. Panel meeting with its advisers to discuss review into Preferred Access Route to Overdale

The Panel met with its adviser via Microsoft Teams to discuss its review into the Preferred Access Route to Overdale.

The Panel informed the adviser that it had been made aware on 28th January 2021 that the Council of Ministers had lodged a notice au Greffe requesting an additional meeting of the States on 1st February 2021 to debate P.167/2020 - Our Hospital: Preferred Access Route. The Panel was due to present its own report and findings on Friday 5th February 2021. The Panel expressed its frustration stating this revised timeline had forced it to bring forward its report at a critical time with almost no notice and as a direct consequence, resulted in important due processes in the production of Scrutiny reports being significantly compromised, or in some cases regrettably not implemented  at  all.  The  Panel  also  noted  its  advisers'  reports  were  similarly compromised and were forced to be submitted in advance of their due date. In addition, it has not been possible for the Panel to hold the anticipated meetings with the advisers to consider both reports. The Panel agreed it would refer the matter to the Scrutiny Liaison Committee for its onward consideration.

The Panel agreed that due to the circumstances it found itself in, the report it would be presenting would not ordinarily have been the report the Panel would, or should have presented,  however,  it  agreed  the  report  be  circulated  as  soon  as  possible  for presentation on Friday 29th January 2021.

Agenda matter

1.  Our Hospital Project

The Panel discussed the ongoing scrutiny of the Our Hospital Project. It was noted that the Panel had been informed that the Outline Business Case (OBC) would be presented to the States Assembly as a report in the following weeks, with a separate proposition for funding (the proposition) to be lodged on or before 3 August 2021 for debate on 14 September.

The Panel expressed concern that the lodging period for the proposition would fall over the summer recess of the States Assembly and that, although in line with Standing Orders, a six week lodging period for a proposition of this significance was too short and could inhibit comprehensive examination by States Members and for scrutiny. In addition, it could cause difficulty scheduling hearings and briefings as required if Ministers and Officers were unavailable over the recess period.

The Panel agreed that a letter would be sent to the Deputy Chief Minister to express its concern at the timing of the lodging and debate of the proposition, suggest an increase in the lodging period of the proposition and inquire about the Government of Jersey's strategy if the States Assembly did not adopt the proposition.

The Panel, mindful that it had received a draft copy of the OBC, agreed that it would launch a two-phased review which would scrutinise the OBC and, subsequently the funding proposition once the latter was lodged.

1.  Panel meeting to discuss the appointment of the advisor for the review of the  Our  Hospital  Project  Outline  Business  Case  (OBC)  and  funding proposition

The Panel recalled that it had discussed the 3 shortlisted potential advisors interviewed as part of the review and had agreed to appoint Currie & Brown to carry out the review of the OBC.

The Panel were provided with an update on the Scrutiny budget and noted the cost proposal submitted by Currie & Brown.

The Panel discussed whether, in light of budget constraints the Terms of Reference (ToR) set out for the Review should be narrowed.

The consensus reached by the Panel was that robust and comprehensive scrutiny of the Our Hospital OBC was essential and that the ToR and scope of the review should remain as drafted to ensure that this was the case. It was further noted that the Chief Minister's letter to the Panel of 14th July also acknowledged the key role of scrutiny in relation to the project.

The Panel's opinion was that the cost proposal put forward by the successful advisor was reasonable for the work requested and in the context of the scale of the Our Hospital project and projected delivery budget of £804 million for the hospital project.

The Panel requested that the officer actively pursue an alternative option for the funding proposition phase of the review to ensure that best value could be achieved without compromising on expertise.
