An immediate halt needs to be called to the proposed borrowing and the current planned construction. Apart from the fact that this is nearly three times the cost of similar hospital constructions in the UK and EU, the future prosperity of this island is not assured and borrowing at this level could be crippling to the people of Jersey.

Any good housewife knows that you plan your shopping according to your budget, and that budget must be based on what money you have in your purse.

Those in power should look at what the island can actually afford and have a hospital designed within this cost. At present they are telling themselves they can have, and deserve, a Ferrari when all they can afford is a Mini.
