The proposed budget of £804.5 million is totally inappropriate for Jersey and this project is simply not sustainable for future generations to pay back in taxes. I am 25 years old and I am so very concerned about how this cost is going to burden my generation that are already facing the heavy financial burden of paying for a one bedroom flat in town, let alone any sort of family home that they can grow into with a future family. Please do not let us face this added burden when I know that so many of my friends are not returning to the Island given the already high costs of living here.
The Overdale site is totally wrong for the new hospital. The Jersey Government has one main role: to serve the Islanders. I cannot remember the last time I didn't see letters written in the JEP about objections to the site written by locals. I have not once seen any positive comments about the new site from any Islanders. But the Government seems to think that they 'know best'. Please, listen to your Islanders, we do not want the site at Overdale.
