WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES BY DEPUTY R.G. LE HÉRISSIER OF ST. SAVIOUR
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 17th APRIL 2012
Question
Has the decision to build a new General Hospital been taken and, if so, what are the key new features of the proposed Hospital?
Answer
HSSD's White Paper on the future of healthcare in Jersey is due to be published in May 2012 and will be brought to the States for debate in autumn 2012. A new hospital would be an element of this healthcare system and therefore, at present, no decision has been taken with regard to its building.
HSSD and Jersey Property Holdings are, in the meantime, developing a statement of need, looking at potential features, locations and likely scale of cost. This work is expected to be completed in time to inform the States' Medium Term Financial Plan. It would obviously then be subject to more detailed planning and development activity.
